Executable Crates

Executable or Binary Crates are binaries that are typically stored in crates.io and installed via cargo install <crate>.

Below are some executeble crates that I have found useful with associated notes.

  • cargo install cargo-upadte
    • cargo-update
    • then cargo install-update --list will list all the installed executables to check if they are up to date.
    • cargo install-update --all will update all installed executables to check if they are up to date.
  • ripgrep
    • better, faster grep
