Add A Cargo Crate

Cargo-installed CLI tools are managed via a list.

Preconditions

• cargo is installed.
• You verified the crate name (for example with cargo search <name> --limit 5).

Steps

1. Add the crate name (or a full cargo install line) to:

   • home/readonly_dot_default-cargo-crates

   This installs as ~/.default-cargo-crates.

2. Apply:

   chezmoi apply

The hook will install missing crates and uninstall crates no longer listed:

• home/.chezmoiscripts/run_onchange_after_05-update-cargo-crates.sh.tmpl

Verification

cargo install --list

Rollback / Undo

1. Remove the crate line from home/readonly_dot_default-cargo-crates.
2. Re-apply:

chezmoi apply
