Examples

As a x86_64-pc-windows-gnu user, releases of rls-preview are quite rare, which is why I created this app.

Here are a different examples of how this binary can be used.

Install latest release that matches the current default toolchain and its components

# This command will:
#  - Find the correct release.
#  - Install it using `rustup toolchain install`.
#  - Move the newly installed toolchain from `channel-date-target` to `channel-target`,
#    overriding the previous one.
$ rustup-find --verbose --offset 25 replace
