A cargo subcommand for checking and applying updates to installed executables
Firstly, ensure you have CMake and the Required Libraries™.
Then proceed as usual:
shell
cargo install cargo-update
If that doesn't work:
* re-try with PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/pkgconfig,
* re-try with LIBSSH2_SYS_USE_PKG_CONFIG=whatever,
* install OpenSSL via brew, and re-try with LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include",
* verify that you don't openssl installed twice via brew,
* re-try with --features vendored-openssl,
* re-try with --features vendored-libgit2.
* re-try with --features vendored-libcurl.
If it still doesn't work, slam open an issue or comment on one of the existing relevant ones.

cargo install-update -a - check for newer versions and update all installed packages.
cargo install-update crate1 crate2 ... - check for newer versions and update selected packages, will not install new packages.
For more information and examples see the manpage.
cargo-update will update itself seamlessly on Linux and Windows.
On Windows the following strategy is applied:
* Check for old versions, remove them
* Add the current version to the current executable's extension
* Create an empty file in place of the just-renamed file (this way cargo install will "replace" it and not duplicate the entry in .crates.toml)
Some crates, like clippy and rustfmt, have moved from Crates.io to being a rustup component.
If you'd installed them beforehand, then added them via rustup component, they might not have been removed from the list of crates installed via cargo install,
and you might come across errors such as
```
$ cargo install-update -a
Updating registry 'https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index'

```
In that case, run cargo install --list to verify that they're still there and cargo uninstall them,
which will deregister the cargo versions and leave you with the rustup ones.
cargosSince 0.42.0,
cargo install cratename checks for newer versions and installs them if they exist, instead of erroring out like it does usually.
Cargo allows replacing entire registries at a time.
For example, this stanza in ~/.cargo/config will replace the default crates.io registry with the Shanghai Jiao Tong Universty's mirror:
```toml
[source.crates-io]
replace-with = "sjtu"
[source.sjtu] registry = "https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/git/crates.io-index" ```
cargo-update resolves this to the deepest registry, and passes --registry sjtu to cargo install.
This worked until roughly nightly-2019-08-10, but since nightly-2019-09-10 due to a Cargo regression (or feature, but it's breaking without a major version bump, so)
--registry looks into a different key, requiring this additional stanza to ensure correct updates:
toml
[registries.sjtu]
index = "https://mirrors.sjtug.sjtu.edu.cn/git/crates.io-index"
