cargo-edit is a Rust CLI tool extending Cargo with subcommands to modify Cargo.toml, such as upgrading dependency versions. Several of its commands (add, rm) have since been integrated into Cargo itself.

Use cases

  • upgrade dependencies in Cargo.toml from the command line
  • manage rust crate dependencies via cli
  • set dependency versions in Cargo.toml
  • bulk upgrade rust project dependencies

When to choose

  • you need cargo upgrade to bump Cargo.toml versions beyond cargo update
  • you're on an older Cargo lacking built-in add/rm

When to avoid

  • you only need cargo add or cargo rm on modern Cargo (built in since 1.62/1.66)
