cargo navigate

This is the repository for the tools cargo-navigate, cargo-repo and cargo-home, which will open your default Internet browser on a crate's URL.

The main tool allows you to navigate to:

• repo: the crate's repository;
• docs: the crate's documentation;
• home: the crate's homepage;
• crates: the crate's page on crates.io.

Installing

cargo install cargo-navigate

Using

cargo navigate <where> [crate]
cargo repo [crate]
cargo home [crate]

The argument where can be one of "repo", "home", "crates", "docs", along with some other similar aliases.

When crate is omitted, the crate in the working directory is assumed. Otherwise, the crate is assumed to be registered in crates.io. If the "documentation" metadata is not present when attempting to open the documentation, the browser will navigate to the crate's docs.rs page.

Binary aliases are available for accessing the repository and homepage: cargo repo and cargo home. Thus, cargo repo would be the Rust equivalent of npm repo in the JavaScript development environment.

Examples:

cargo navigate docs rayon  # navigate to rayon's documentation
cargo repo                 # navigate to this crate's repository
cargo home rocket-rs       # navigate to Rocket's homepage
