CARGO-VENDOR(1)

NAME
cargo-vendor - Vendor all dependencies locally

SYNOPSIS

cargo vendor [OPTIONS] [PATH]

DESCRIPTION

This cargo subcommand will vendor all crates.io and git dependencies for a project into the specified directory at <path>. After this command completes the vendor directory specified by <path> will contain all remote sources from dependencies specified. Additional manifests beyond the default one can be specified with the -s option.

The cargo vendor command will also print out the configuration necessary to use the vendored sources, which you will need to add to .cargo/config.toml.

OPTIONS

  Vendor Options

-s MANIFEST, --sync MANIFEST
    Specify extra Cargo.toml manifests to workspaces which should also be vendored and synced to the output.

--no-delete
    Don’t delete the "vendor" directory when vendoring, but rather keep all existing contents of the vendor directory

--respect-source-config
    Instead of ignoring [source] configuration by default in .cargo/config.toml read it and use it when downloading crates from crates.io, for example

--versioned-dirs
    Normally versions are only added to disambiguate multiple versions of the same package. This option causes all directories in the "vendor" directory to be versioned, which makes it easier to track the history of vendored packages over time, and can help with the performance of re-vendoring when only a subset of the packages have changed.

  Manifest Options

--manifest-path PATH
    Path to the Cargo.toml file. By default, Cargo searches for the Cargo.toml file in the current directory or any parent directory.

  Display Options

-v, --verbose
    Use verbose output. May be specified twice for "very verbose" output which includes extra output such as dependency warnings and build script output. May also be specified with the term.verbose

-q, --quiet
    No output printed to stdout.

--color WHEN
    Control when colored output is used. Valid values:

        • auto (default): Automatically detect if color support is available on the terminal.

        • always: Always display colors.

        • never: Never display colors.

    May also be specified with the term.color

  Common Options

+TOOLCHAIN
    If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to cargo begins with +, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as +stable or +nightly). See the for more information about how toolchain overrides work.

-h, --help
    Prints help information.

-Z FLAG...
    Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run cargo -Z help for details.

--frozen, --locked
    Either of these flags requires that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date. If the lock file is missing, or it needs to be updated, Cargo will exit with an error. The --frozen flag also prevents Cargo from attempting to access the network to determine if it is out-of-date.

    These may be used in environments where you want to assert that the Cargo.lock file is up-to-date (such as a CI build) or want to avoid network access.

--offline
    Prevents Cargo from accessing the network for any reason. Without this flag, Cargo will stop with an error if it needs to access the network and the network is not available. With this flag, Cargo will attempt to proceed without the network if possible.

    Beware that this may result in different dependency resolution than online mode. Cargo will restrict itself to crates that are downloaded locally, even if there might be a newer version as indicated in the local copy of the index. See the cargo-fetch(1) command to download dependencies before going offline.

    May also be specified with the net.offline

ENVIRONMENT

See for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.

EXIT STATUS

0
    Cargo succeeded.

101
    Cargo failed to complete.

EXAMPLES

    1. Vendor all dependencies into a local "vendor" folder

        cargo vendor

    2. Vendor all dependencies into a local "third-party/vendor" folder

        cargo vendor third-party/vendor

    3. Vendor the current workspace as well as another to "vendor"

        cargo vendor -s ../path/to/Cargo.toml
