Rust tools

The commonly used CLIs, toolchain, and workflow tools for Rust.

  • cargo - The package manager and toolchain for Rust. Like npm, it’s commonly used for compiling + running your rust application and managing dependencies, running tests, linting, etc.
  • rustc - The actual Rust compiler, used by cargo under the hood to convert Rust code into executable binaries.
  • rustup - The Rust toolchain installer, for installing/managing different versions of Rust.

Basically everything is done through cargo.
