A Tour of Rust:Cargo

Cargo

Cargo is Rust’s build system and package manager that we have build, run, and test our code. Per Rust official documentation Cargo has some advanced features:

• Customize your build through release profiles
• Publish libraries on crates.io
• Organize large projects with workspaces
• Install binaries from crates.io
• Extend Cargo using custom commands

You can find detailed further information about Cargo from its documentation: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/ 

Crates.io

We can use crates.io packages as dependencies for our project, but we can also publish our own packages to share our code with others. The crate registry at crates.io primarily hosts open source code because it distributes the source code of your packages.
