rust-new-project-template

All Rust projects can follow this pattern:

1. Create a new repo using Rust New Project Template: https://github.com/noahgift/rust-new-project-template
2. Create a new Codespaces and use it
3. Use main.rs to call handle CLI and use lib.rs to handle logic and import clap in Cargo.toml as shown in this project.
4. Use `cargo init --name 'hello' or whatever you want to call your project.
5. Put your "ideas" in as comments in rust to seed GitHub Copilot, i.e //build add function
6. Run make format i.e. cargo format
7. Run make lint i.e. cargo clippy --quiet
8. Run project: cargo run -- --help
9. Push your changes to allow GitHub Actions to: format check, lint check, and other actions like binary deploy.

This pattern is a new emerging pattern and is ideal for systems programming in Rust.

Reproduce

A good starting point for a new Rust project

To run: cargo run -- marco --name "Marco" Be careful to use the NAME of the project in the Cargo.toml to call lib.rs as in:

[package]
name = "hello"

For example, see the name hello is invoked alongside marco_polo which is in lib.rs.

fn main() {
    let args = Cli::parse();
    match args.command {
        Some(Commands::Marco { name }) => {
            println!("{}", hello::marco_polo(&name));
        }
        None => println!("No command was used"),
    }
}
