6 cargo-publish - Upload a package to the registry
7
9 cargo publish [options]
10
12 This command will create a distributable, compressed .crate file with
13 the source code of the package in the current directory and upload it
14 to a registry. The default registry is <https://crates.io>. This
15 performs the following steps:
16 1. Performs a few checks, including:
18 · Checks the package.publish key in the manifest for restrictions
20 on which registries you are allowed to publish to.
21 2. Create a .crate file by following the steps in cargo-package(1).
23 3. Upload the crate to the registry. Note that the server will perform
25 additional checks on the crate.
26 This command requires you to be authenticated with either the --token
28 option or using cargo-login(1).
29 See the reference
31 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/publishing.html> for more
32 details about packaging and publishing.
33
35 Publish Options
36 --dry-run
37 Perform all checks without uploading.
38 --token token
40 API token to use when authenticating. This overrides the token
41 stored in the credentials file (which is created by
42 cargo-login(1)).
43 Cargo config
45 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html> environment
46 variables can be used to override the tokens stored in the
47 credentials file. The token for crates.io may be specified with the
48 CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN environment variable. Tokens for other
49 registries may be specified with environment variables of the form
50 CARGO_REGISTRIES_NAME_TOKEN where NAME is the name of the registry
51 in all capital letters.
52 --no-verify
54 Don't verify the contents by building them.
55 --allow-dirty
57 Allow working directories with uncommitted VCS changes to be
58 packaged.
59 --index index
61 The URL of the registry index to use.
62 --registry registry
64 Name of the registry to publish to. Registry names are defined in
65 Cargo config files
66 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. If not
67 specified, and there is a package.publish
68 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-publish-field>
69 field in Cargo.toml with a single registry, then it will publish to
70 that registry. Otherwise it will use the default registry, which is
71 defined by the registry.default
72 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#registrydefault>
73 config key which defaults to crates-io.
74 Compilation Options
76 --target triple
77 Publish for the given architecture. The default is the host
78 architecture. The general format of the triple is
79 <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<sys>-<abi>. Run rustc --print target-list for
80 a list of supported targets.
81 This may also be specified with the build.target config value
83 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
84 Note that specifying this flag makes Cargo run in a different mode
86 where the target artifacts are placed in a separate directory. See
87 the build cache
88 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/guide/build-cache.html>
89 documentation for more details.
90 --target-dir directory
92 Directory for all generated artifacts and intermediate files. May
93 also be specified with the CARGO_TARGET_DIR environment variable,
94 or the build.target-dir config value
95 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults
96 to target in the root of the workspace.
97 Feature Selection
99 The feature flags allow you to control which features are enabled. When
100 no feature options are given, the default feature is activated for
101 every selected package.
102 See the features documentation
104 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#command-line-feature-options>
105 for more details.
106 --features features
108 Space or comma separated list of features to activate. Features of
109 workspace members may be enabled with package-name/feature-name
110 syntax. This flag may be specified multiple times, which enables
111 all specified features.
112 --all-features
114 Activate all available features of all selected packages.
115 --no-default-features
117 Do not activate the default feature of the selected packages.
118 Manifest Options
120 --manifest-path path
121 Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for the
122 Cargo.toml file in the current directory or any parent directory.
123 --frozen, --locked
125 Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file is
126 up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated,
127 Cargo will exit with an error. The --frozen flag also prevents
128 Cargo from attempting to access the network to determine if it is
129 out-of-date.
130 These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the
132 Cargo.lock file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid
133 network access.
134 --offline
136 Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without
137 this flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the
138 network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo
139 will attempt to proceed without the network if possible.
140 Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than
142 online mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are
143 downloaded locally, even if there might be a newer version as
144 indicated in the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1)
145 command to download dependencies before going offline.
146 May also be specified with the net.offline config value
148 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
149 Miscellaneous Options
151 -j N, --jobs N
152 Number of parallel jobs to run. May also be specified with the
153 build.jobs config value
154 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>. Defaults
155 to the number of CPUs.
156 Display Options
158 -v, --verbose
159 Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose"
160 output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and
161 build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose
162 config value
163 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
164 -q, --quiet
166 No output printed to stdout.
167 --color when
169 Control when colored output is used. Valid values:
170 · auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is
172 available on the terminal.
173 · always: Always display colors.
175 · never: Never display colors.
177 May also be specified with the term.color config value
179 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html>.
180 Common Options
182 +toolchain
183 If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to
184 cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain
185 name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the rustup documentation
186 <https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html> for more
187 information about how toolchain overrides work.
188 -h, --help
190 Prints help information.
191 -Z flag
193 Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for
194 details.
195
197 See the reference
198 <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html>
199 for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
