Rust

Tools

cargo-audit

Security audit of the Cargo.lock file. Checkts the audit database for any reported issues.

Warning: First run can be very slow, because it's building a copy of the crates.io database.

Example output

cargo-deps

Create Graphviz graph of the used deps (needs graphviz or a dot compatible tool installed)

cargo-geiger

Geigercounter for unsafe / unstable rust code (if installation fails, use cargo install --locked cargo-geiger)

Warning: Execution can be slow, because it is inspecting the complete dependency graph of a project

Example output:

cargo-license

Display license overview of referenced libraries

cargo-outdated

List outdated crates from your Cargo.toml

cargo-release

Release a new version of your crate and optionally upload to crates.io.

cargo-watch

Run a specified command on detected file changes (check by default). Can be combined with listenfd for example

clippy

Check rust code for common mistakes - install via rustup

rustfmt

Reformat rust code - install via rustup
