cargo\-new \- Create a new Cargo package
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
\fBcargo new\fR [\fIoptions\fR] \fIpath\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
This command will create a new Cargo package in the given directory. This
includes a simple template with a \fBCargo.toml\fR manifest, sample source file,
and a VCS ignore file. If the directory is not already in a VCS repository,
then a new repository is created (see \fB\-\-vcs\fR below).
.sp
See \fBcargo\-init\fR(1) for a similar command which will create a new manifest
in an existing directory.
.SH "OPTIONS"

.sp
\fB\-\-bin\fR
.RS 4
Create a package with a binary target (\fBsrc/main.rs\fR).
This is the default behavior.
.RE

\fB\-\-lib\fR
.RS 4
Create a package with a library target (\fBsrc/lib.rs\fR).
.RE

\fB\-\-name\fR \fIname\fR
.RS 4
Set the package name. Defaults to the directory name.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-vcs\fR \fIvcs\fR
.RS 4
Initialize a new VCS repository for the given version control system (git,
hg, pijul, or fossil) or do not initialize any version control at all
(none). If not specified, defaults to \fBgit\fR or the configuration value
\fBcargo\-new.vcs\fR, or \fBnone\fR if already inside a VCS repository.
.RE
.sp
\fB\-\-registry\fR \fIregistry\fR
.RS 4
This sets the \fBpublish\fR field in \fBCargo.toml\fR to the given registry name
which will restrict publishing only to that registry.
.sp
Registry names are defined in \fICargo config files\fR <https://doc.rust\-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>\&.
If not specified, the default registry defined by the \fBregistry.default\fR
config key is used. If the default registry is not set and \fB\-\-registry\fR is not
used, the \fBpublish\fR field will not be set which means that publishing will not
be restricted.
