What is cargo-hoist?

cargo-hoist is an ultra lightweight, dead simple cargo subcommand that memoizes cargo-built binaries using a global toml cache file. Since the global toml file contains a memoized list of the built binary paths, the hoist subcommand can then be used to manipulate cargo-built binaries in a whole variety of ways.

Primarily, binaries can be pulled into the current working directory using cargo hoist <bin name> (the default, flagless hoist command). To load the binary into path, you can run cargo hoist <bin name> --path.

Often, it's added overhead to remember where your binary is built within the target/.. directories. cargo-hoist makes it easy to find locally built binaries using the --list (or -l shorthand) flag.

Usage

Install cargo-hoist using cargo.

cargo install cargo-hoist
