Rust Cargo

Cargo is the official build system and package manager for Rust. It handles tasks like building code, downloading dependencies, and building libraries.

Core Commands

• cargo new [name]: Scaffolds a new package.
• cargo build: Compiles the current package.
• cargo run: Runs the binary (compiling first if needed).
• cargo test: Executes unit and integration tests.
• cargo doc: Generates documentation for the current project and dependencies.
• cargo publish: Uploads the crate to crates.io.

The Cargo.toml File

This manifest file defines the package's metadata, dependencies, and build configurations (Profiles).
