cargo vendor

NAME

cargo-vendor - Vendor all dependencies locally

This cargo subcommand will vendor all crates.io and git dependencies for a project into the specified directory at <path>. After this command completes the vendor directory specified by <path> will contain all remote sources from dependencies specified. Additional manifests beyond the default one can be specified with the -s option.

The cargo vendor command will also print out the configuration necessary to use the vendored sources, which you will need to add to .cargo/config.

OPTIONS

Owner Options

-s MANIFEST
--sync MANIFEST: Specify extra Cargo.toml manifests to workspaces which should also be vendored and synced to the output.
--no-delete: Don’t delete the "vendor" directory when vendoring, but rather keep all existing contents of the vendor directory
--respect-source-config: Instead of ignoring [source] configuration by default in .cargo/config read it and use it when downloading crates from crates.io, for example

Manifest Options

--manifest-path PATH: Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches in the current directory or any parent directory for the Cargo.toml file.

Display Options

-v

--verbose

Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose config value.

-q

--quiet

No output printed to stdout.

--color WHEN

Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.
always: Always display colors.
never: Never display colors.

May also be specified with the term.color config value.

Common Options

-h
--help: Prints help information.
-Z FLAG…: Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.
--frozen
--locked: Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will exit with an error. The --frozen flag also prevents Cargo from attempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.

These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network access.
--offline: Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt to proceed without the network if possible.

Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even if there might be a newer version as indicated in the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1) command to download dependencies before going offline.

May also be specified with the net.offline config value.

ENVIRONMENT

See the reference for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

Exit Status

0: Cargo succeeded.
101: Cargo failed to complete.
