Easy Mode Rust

Install Rust with `rustup`

Rust is installed with the rustup tool.

On Linux, Mac OS, and Unixes, run the following in your shell then follow the onscreen instructions:

curl -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

For Windows and other install see https://rustup.rs.

Start a new `rustmax` project with `cargo-generate`

This will create a cargo workspace with two crates, one a library, one a CLI, with a dependency on the rustmax crate.

$ cargo generate brson/rustmax

Updating dependencies in lockfile

cargo update

Updating dependencies in Cargo.toml

cargo upgrade

With no extra arguments cargo upgrade modifies Cargo.toml files such that the dependencies are set to their latest compatible versions. In this way it similar to cargo update but for manifests instead of lockfiles.

todo This command is from the cargo-edit package.

Upgrading dependencies across minor versions in Cargo.toml

cargo upgrade --incompatible
