Command to easily maintain rust dependencies with command line

Cargo edit

Cargo edit extends cargo by adding the following subcommands.
As you can guess by their names, the subcommands modify Cargo.toml from the command line.

• cargo add
• cargo rm
• cargo upgrade

Install

$ cargo install cargo-edit

cargo add

$ cargo add image
Updating 'https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index' index
