Cargo dev install

Linux-only Cargo subcommand that installs a wrapper script so your app runs from the working tree via cargo run.

Install the plugin

cargo install --path .
# or
cargo install --git <repo-url>

Ensure ~/.cargo/bin (or $CARGO_HOME/bin) is on your PATH.

Use

cargo dev-install

Behavior

• Wrapper name matches the selected binary.
• Install dir: XDG_BIN_HOME if set, else $HOME/.local/bin.
• Warns if install dir is not on PATH.
• Does not overwrite existing wrappers unless --force.
• REPO is an absolute crate root path (no symlink resolution).
