# `cargo clone`
A Cargo subcommand to clone a repository from the
(crates.io)[https://crates.io/] index.
## Installation
`cargo install cargo-clone-crate`
## Usage
By default it will attempt to guess if the package uses git, Mercurial, or
other version control systems.
`cargo clone bitflags`
If it can't determine which to use, you can force it manually:
`cargo clone --method=fossil rs-graph graph.fossil`
You can also download the `crate` file directly from crates.io:
`cargo clone --method=crate bitflags`
The `crate` method can also take a version to fetch a specific version:
`cargo clone --method=crate bitflags:=1.0.1`
