📦 cargo-autodd

A Cargo subcommand that automatically manages dependencies in your Rust projects.

🔍 Overview

cargo-autodd simplifies Rust dependency management by automatically adding required crates to your Cargo.toml based on use statements and extern crate declarations in your code.

✨ Features

• 🔎 Scans Rust source files for imports
• 🤖 Automatically detects required dependencies
• ⬆️ Updates Cargo.toml with the latest stable versions
• 🗑️ Removes unused dependencies
• 🛠️ Leverages rust-analyzer for better code analysis (when available)
• 🧹 Removes unused dependencies
• 📊 Generates dependency usage reports
• 🔒 Checks for security vulnerabilities
• 🐛 Debug mode for detailed analysis

📥 Installation

cargo install cargo-autodd

⚙️ Requirements

• 🦀 Rust 1.56.0 or later
• 📦 Cargo
• 🔧 rust-analyzer (optional, but recommended)

🚀 Usage

Automatic Dependency Management
