cargo: Create a new binary or library Rust project in the current directory.
$ cargo init --${select}
try on your machine
The command "cargo init --${select}" is used to initialize a new Rust project using the Cargo package manager.
Let's break down the command:
- "cargo init" is the base command and is used to create a new Rust project.
- "--${select}" is an optional argument that needs to be replaced with a specific value. The "${select}" placeholder suggests that you need to provide a value specific to your project. For example, if you want to name your project "my_project", you would replace "--${select}" with "--name my_project".
Here's an example of how you would use this command to initialize a new Rust project named "my_project":
cargo init --name my_project
Executing this command will create a new directory named "my_project" in your current location. Inside that directory, Cargo will generate some initial files and directories necessary for a Rust project, including a "Cargo.toml" configuration file and a "src" directory containing a basic Rust source file named "main.rs". These files provide the structure and configuration for your project.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
