cargo-remove(1)
NAME
cargo-remove — Remove dependencies from a Cargo.toml manifest file
SYNOPSIS
cargo remove [options] dependency…
DESCRIPTION
Remove one or more dependencies from a Cargo.toml manifest.
OPTIONS
Section options
--dev- Remove as a development dependency.
--build- Remove as a build dependency.
--targettarget- Remove as a dependency to the given target platform.
To avoid unexpected shell expansions, you may use quotes around each target, e.g.,
--target 'cfg(unix)'.
Miscellaneous Options
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.verboseconfig value. -q--quiet- Do not print cargo log messages.
May also be specified with the
term.quietconfig value. --colorwhen- 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.colorconfig value.
Manifest Options
--manifest-pathpath- Path to the
Cargo.tomlfile. By default, Cargo searches for theCargo.tomlfile in the current directory or any parent directory. --locked- Asserts that the exact same dependencies and versions are used as when the
existing
Cargo.lockfile was originally generated. Cargo will exit with an error when either of the following scenarios arises:- The lock file is missing.
- Cargo attempted to change the lock file due to a different dependency resolution.
It may be used in environments where deterministic builds are desired, such as in CI pipelines.
--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.offlineconfig value. --frozen- Equivalent to specifying both
--lockedand--offline. --lockfile-pathPATH- Changes the path of the lockfile from the default (
<workspace_root>/Cargo.lock) to PATH. PATH must end withCargo.lock(e.g.--lockfile-path /tmp/temporary-lockfile/Cargo.lock). Note that providing--lockfile-pathwill ignore existing lockfile at the default path, and instead will either use the lockfile from PATH, or write a new lockfile into the provided PATH if it doesn’t exist. This flag can be used to run most commands in read-only directories, writing lockfile into the provided PATH.This option is only available on the nightly channel and requires the
-Z unstable-optionsflag to enable (see #14421).
Package Selection
Common Options
+toolchain- If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to
cargobegins with+, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such as+stableor+nightly). See the rustup documentation for more information about how toolchain overrides work. --configKEY=VALUE or PATH- Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of
KEY=VALUE, or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. See the command-line overrides section for more information. -CPATH- Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects
things like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (
Cargo.toml), as well as the directories searched for discovering.cargo/config.toml, for example. This option must appear before the command name, for examplecargo -C path/to/my-project build.This option is only available on the nightly channel and requires the
-Z unstable-optionsflag to enable (see #10098). -h--help- Prints help information.
-Zflag- Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run
cargo -Z helpfor details.
ENVIRONMENT
See the reference for details on environment variables that Cargo reads.
EXIT STATUS
0: Cargo succeeded.101: Cargo failed to complete.
