cargo-add: Add a local crate as a dependency.
$ cargo add --path ${path-to-crate}
try on your machine

The command "cargo add --path ${path-to-crate}" is used in Rust programming language with the Cargo build system.

Explanation:

  • "cargo" refers to the command-line interface of the Cargo build system, which is the package manager and build tool for Rust.
  • "add" is a subcommand used to add dependencies to the project.
  • "--path" is an option that specifies the path to the crate you want to add as a dependency.
  • "${path-to-crate}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the crate you want to add.

In summary, this command is used to add a local crate (dependency) to your Rust project using its path. By providing the path to the crate, Cargo can locate and add it to the project, making it available to be used.
