cargo-neat

Keep your cargo workspace neat

About

A command to complement existing tools like cargo-machete when working with a Cargo workspace.

Features:

• detect unused dependencies in workspace.dependencies when working with a cargo workspace
• optionally enforce using only workspace dependency in your project (-m option)

Installation

Install with cargo:

cargo install cargo-neat

Usage

cd my-directory && cargo neat

or alternatively

cargo neat my-directory

Sample output

cargo neat -m my-workspace

Unused workspace dependencies :
└── /home/user/my-workspace/Cargo.toml
    ├── anyhow
    └── clappen

Non workspace dependencies :
├── /home/user/my-workspace/crate1/Cargo.toml
│   ├── futures-lite
│   └── argh
└── /home/user/my-workspace/crate2/Cargo.toml
    └── clap

The return code gives an indication whether unused dependencies have been found:

• 0 if it found no unused dependencies,
• 1 if it found at least one unused dependency,
• 2 if there was an error during processing (in which case there's no indication whether any unused dependency was found or not).

Inspiration

A lot of the code structure is drawn from the great cargo-machete. If you don't already use it, you probably should.
