NewOptions--bin
Create a package with a binary target (src/main.rs). This is the default behavior.
--lib
Create a package with a library target (src/lib.rs).
--editionedition
Specify the Rust edition to use. Default is 2021. Possible values: 2015, 2018, 2021, 2024
--namename
Set the package name. Defaults to the directory name.
--vcsvcs
Initialize a new VCS repository for the given version control system (git, hg, pijul, or fossil) or
do not initialize any version control at all (none). If not specified, defaults to git or the
configuration value cargo-new.vcs, or none if already inside a VCS repository.
--registryregistry
This sets the publish field in Cargo.toml to the given registry name which will restrict publishing
only to that registry.
Registry names are defined in Cargoconfigfiles
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. If not specified, the default registry
defined by the registry.default config key is used. If the default registry is not set and --registry
is not used, the publish field will not be set which means that publishing will not be restricted.
DisplayOptions-v, --verbose
Use verbose output. May be specified twice for “very verbose” output which includes extra output such
as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verboseconfigvalue <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
-q, --quiet
Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quietconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
--colorwhen
Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
• auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.
• always: Always display colors.
• never: Never display colors.
May also be specified with the term.colorconfigvalue
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
CommonOptions+toolchain
If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be
interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustupdocumentation
<https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more information about how toolchain
overrides work.
--configKEY=VALUE or PATH
Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of KEY=VALUE, or
provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the
command-lineoverridessection
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides> for more information.
-CPATH
Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects things
like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (Cargo.toml), as well as the directories
searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml, for example. This option must appear before the command
name, for example cargo-Cpath/to/my-projectbuild.
This option is only available on the nightlychannel
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and requires the -Zunstable-options
flag to enable (see #10098 <https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).
-h, --help
Prints help information.
-Zflag
Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo-Zhelp for details.
