Documentation

Manpage

Installation

Self-update

cargo-update will update itself seamlessly on Linux and Windows.

On Windows the following strategy is applied:

• Check for old versions, remove them
• Add the current version to the current executable's extension
• Create an empty file in place of the just-renamed file (this way cargo install will "replace" it and not duplicate the entry in .crates.toml)
