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:

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

  2. Apply:

    chezmoi apply

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

Verification​

cargo install --list

Rollback / Undo​

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