cargo-interactive-update

Update your direct dependencies interactively to the latest version via crates.io, similar to pnpm update --interactive --latest from the JS ecosystem.

Installation

Install the cargo extension by installing it from crates.io:

cargo install cargo-interactive-update

Usage

Run the cargo extension:

cargo interactive-update

It will then parse the Cargo.toml file to get the direct dependencies and check them via the crates.io API.

It extracts dependencies from the dependencies, dev-dependencies, build-dependencies and workspace-dependencies sections and updates only the related sections.

If there are outdated dependencies, it will display them and let you select which ones to update, similar to the following:

7 out of the 10 direct dependencies are outdated
