Third party cargo subcommands (original) (raw)

Third-party cargo subcommands

Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. This is achieved by translating a cargo invocation of the form cargo (?<command>[^ ]+) into an invocation of an external tool cargo-${command} that then needs to be present in the ~/.cargo/bin/ or one of the user's $PATH directories.
