Creating Repos

Creating the Repo

To get started creating a repo, use cargo. You can create a library with cargo new --lib my-project and an executable can be created with cargo new --bin my-project.

This gitignore provides a decent start. If you are building a binary, you want to update your .gitignore to commit the cargo.lock.

Specifying the toolchain version

If you would like to pin the toolchain version, create a rust-toolchain.toml within the root of your repo. I have provided an example one below.

[toolchain]
# The default profile includes rustc, rust-std, cargo, rust-docs, rustfmt and clippy.
# https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/concepts/profiles.html
profile = "default"
channel = "1.82"
