cargo-ship

This cargo plugin provides the ship command, which at this point simply runs cargo test, cargo build --release, and then copies the target executable to the ~/.bin/ folder.

The cargo-ship tool is a cargo plugin that provides a simple way to ship a tested release build of a project.

Defaults

Running this as a plugin using cargo ship is basically the same as doing the following:

cargo test
cargo build --release
cp ./target/release/<target_name> ~/.bin

with <target_name> being the name specified in the project's Cargo.toml file as the release name

Assumptions

The user is expected to have a recognizable home directory. The user should have a ~/.bin folder that has been added to their PATH environment variable.

Future plans

Although this is a very simplistic tool, and is really only useful for deploying built executables into a local folder the goal is to provide a more complete deployment tool with configurable targeting. Ideally, I'd like to see:

• configurable local deployment (use .bin or /usr/local/bin or /my_crazy_directory_i_added_to_my_path)
• s3 deployment (maybe using the awscli?)
• ssh/scp deploys
• allow other profiles besides release
