NAME
cargo-add - Add dependencies to a Cargo.toml manifest file
SYNOPSIS
cargo add [options] crate...
cargo add [options] --path path
cargo add [options] --git url [crate...]
DESCRIPTION
This command can add or modify dependencies.
The source for the dependency can be specified with:
-
•crate@version: Fetch from a registry with a version constraint of "version"
-
•--path path: Fetch from the specified path
-
•--git url: Pull from a git repo at url
If no source is specified, then a best effort will be made to select one, including:
-
•Existing dependencies in other tables (like dev-dependencies)
-
•Workspace members
-
•Latest release in the registry
When you add a package that is already present, the existing entry will be updated with the flags specified.
Upon successful invocation, the enabled (+) and disabled (-) features <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.md> of the specified
dependency will be listed in the command's output.
