Description-en: Rust package manager
Cargo is a tool that allows Rust projects to declare their various
dependencies, and ensure that you'll always get a repeatable build.
.
To accomplish this goal, Cargo does four things:
* Introduces two metadata files with various bits of project information.
* Fetches and builds your project's dependencies.
* Invokes rustc or another build tool with the correct parameters to build
your project.
* Introduces conventions, making working with Rust projects easier.
.
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your
project.
