cargo-init --- Create a new Cargo package in an existing directory
cargo init [options] [path]
This command will create a new Cargo manifest in the current directory. Give a path as an argument to create in the given directory.
If there are typically-named Rust source files already in the directory, those will be used. If not, then a sample src/main.rs file will be created, or src/lib.rs if --lib is passed.
If the directory is not already in a VCS repository, then a new repository is created (see --vcs below).
See {{man “cargo-new” 1}} for a similar command which will create a new package in a new directory.
