It's just a template repository for Rust, with the following features :
- :octocat: CI with Github actions :

rustere does not contain any useful code because it's a template repository.
But you can run the following command to check if the package was correctly installed :
rustere
To use this template, click the button "Use this template" :
It will prompt you to create a new Github repository.
Then replace the content in your freshly created repository, with your own package name, own code, and update the links to point to your own repository.
Here is an exhaustive list of things to do :
- Add your content :
- Change
cargo.toml: Replace the name of the package, the version, the author, the description, and the homepage. - Replace
README.md: You can keep the same README outline, but you must update the core content to fit what you're building. Make sure to replace any occurence ofastariulwith your own username, and replace any occurence ofrusterewith the name of your package. - Add your code : Erase the content of
src/main.rsandsrc/lib.rsand put your own code. - Replace the tests : Replace the content of
tests/integration_tests.rswith actual tests. - Update names and links in
.github/folder :- In
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug.yaml, replacerusterewith the name of your package. - In
.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml, replaceastariul/rustereby your own<user>/<repo>.
