cargo-clippy: Run checks on all packages in the workspace.
$ cargo clippy --workspace
try on your machine

The command "cargo clippy --workspace" invokes the Clippy tool for the specific Rust project managed by Cargo.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "cargo" refers to the package manager for Rust called Cargo.
  • "clippy" is a linter or "lint" tool for Rust code. It provides additional warnings and suggestions beyond what the Rust compiler offers.
  • "--workspace" is an option that tells Cargo to apply the command to the entire workspace. A workspace is a collection of multiple related Rust packages managed together using Cargo's workspace feature.

By running this command, the Clippy linter will be executed for each package within the workspace, enabling you to catch potential issues, improve code quality, and follow Rust's best practices throughout the entire project.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
