NAME

       cargo-new — Create a new Cargo package

SYNOPSIS

       cargo new [options] path

DESCRIPTION

       This command will create a new Cargo package in the given directory. This includes a
       simple template with a Cargo.toml manifest, sample source file, and a VCS ignore file. If
       the directory is not already in a VCS repository, then a new repository is created (see
       --vcs below).

       See cargo-init(1) for a similar command which will create a new manifest in an existing
       directory.

OPTIONS

   New Options
       --bin
           Create a package with a binary target (src/main.rs). This is the default behavior.

       --lib
           Create a package with a library target (src/lib.rs).

       --edition edition
           Specify the Rust edition to use. Default is 2021. Possible values: 2015, 2018, 2021,
           2024

       --name name
           Set the package name. Defaults to the directory name.

       --vcs vcs
           Initialize a new VCS repository for the given version control system (git, hg, pijul,
           or fossil) or do not initialize any version control at all (none). If not specified,
           defaults to git or the configuration value cargo-new.vcs, or none if already inside a
           VCS repository.

       --registry registry
           This sets the publish field in Cargo.toml to the given registry name which will
           restrict publishing only to that registry.

           Registry names are defined in Cargo config files
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. If not specified, the default
           registry defined by the registry.default config key is used. If the default registry
           is not set and --registry is not used, the publish field will not be set which means
           that publishing will not be restricted.

   Display Options
       -v, --verbose
           Use verbose output. May be specified twice for “very verbose” output which includes
           extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be
           specified with the term.verbose config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       -q, --quiet
           Do not print cargo log messages. May also be specified with the term.quiet config
           value <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

       --color when
           Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

           •  auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.

           •  always: Always display colors.

           •  never: Never display colors.

           May also be specified with the term.color config value
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.

   Common Options
       +toolchain
           If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with
           +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly).
           See the rustup documentation <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for
           more information about how toolchain overrides work.

       --config KEY=VALUE or PATH
           Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of
           KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be
           specified multiple times. See the command-line overrides section
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#command-line-overrides> for
           more information.

       -C PATH
           Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This
           affects things like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest
           (Cargo.toml), as well as the directories searched for discovering .cargo/config.toml,
           for example. This option must appear before the command name, for example cargo -C
           path/to/my-project build.

           This option is only available on the nightly channel
           <https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html> and requires the -Z
           unstable-options flag to enable (see #10098
           <https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098>).

       -h, --help
           Prints help information.

       -Z flag
           Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

ENVIRONMENT

       See the reference <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
       for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS

0: Cargo succeeded.

       •  101: Cargo failed to complete.
