thank

Find out who to thank for the crates you use every day

What does this do?

Shows information (useful links and author details) about every crates you depend on in your projects.

Usage:

• thank you - displays information about the crates you included under the [packages] section in your Cargo.toml
• thank yall - displays information about all the crates your project depends on
• thank god - displays information about this crate

Why?

This project was inspired by the multitude of "thanks" projects out there. It's the first program I wrote in Rust (except from the classic Hello World), so doing this was a learning experience. I always thought you learn best by doing. Except for getting familiar with the language and tooling, I wanted this project to be yet another tool that makes the Rust community feel as awesome and friendly as it does.
