Current state

I cannot find a way to safely clean the project directory.

Feature request

A flag to remove projects that are safe to remove like the ones with TO_DELETE file.

Perhaps a second --force like flag that removes all projects, no matter whether they have the TO_DELETE file or not.

Thank you for this amazing project that helps me a lot. I will try to attempt this myself as a feature PR but creating this issue here just for the sake of documentation (also in case I missed something).

Current state

Right now I can generate a new temp crate with a specific name by passing --name flag like

$ cargo temp --name mytrialproj

It generates a directory in the cargo temp directory correctly with name like tmp-EUsdfsl.

Feature request

If name is specified with --name flag, append that to the directory name of the newly generated project. e.g. tmp-EUsdfsl-mytrialproj.

I have an error when i try to publish a new version of cargo-temp, cargo-release said that i need to have a version for bidings to be able to publish. So i have move bindings as a workspace member

I found the documentation confusing because the extra =. anyhow = "=1.1.0" does seem to be valid in Cargo.toml but I don't think it is ever used because I don't see how it is different to anyhow = "1.1.0".

I replaced the test with one using ^ as I've seen that used in Cargo.tomls before so it's probably more worth testing than =.

Hope this is helpful. Thanks for creating a great tool.

closes #16, closes #26

We will now use XDG directories system for *nix and the Known Folder system on Windows. When the directory is created, we will print where.

@YohDeadfall make the point that some users use an IDE instead of a terminal for handle their Rust project's workflow.

This issue will investigate some solutions to make that possible across all platforms already available.

This PR addresses: https://github.com/yozhgoor/cargo-temp/issues/75 and https://github.com/yozhgoor/cargo-temp/issues/74

Updating Clap and cargo-generate. According to the changelog we need to change parse(try_from_str to value_parser.

I was not sure if you wanted to move to clap 4 or not, but I followed the version cargo-generate was using. Let me know if you want me to change it.

Thank you :)

This is probably not a windows-specific issue, cargo install cargo-temp yields this error:

Allow the user to add repository to their cargo.toml like this: repo = { git = "https://github.com/user/repo.git", branch = "main" }

The user will create the temporary projet using the url of the repo like this: $ cargo-temp https://github.com/user/repo.git

To select a branch, the user can add @branch=main at the end of the url. To select a revision, the user can add @rev=8e0f44a81 at the end of the url.

If the user don't add any @, the default will be @main.

• [x] Add a welcome_message setting to the config file to enable or disable the welcome message
• [x] Print a welcome message when creating a new temporary project that explains how to exit and how to preserve the project when exiting.

Closes #63

Related to https://github.com/yozhgoor/cargo-temp/issues/71, it adds a new optional config key to move the projects to another path when they are preserved.

I moved all the code related to the preservation of the directory to a new method so it can be called elsewhere if needed.
