I don't have a strong use for this because i mostly just let it rip when it comes to dependency updates, but I wanted to say that Rust makes the absolute best CLIs (mostly thanks to clap and ratatui).

I love that basically any CLI made in Rust will usually get you easy, readable help output, sensible argument parsing, and with just a small amount of additional effort, shell completions.

How do you upgrade your deps?

I used to use 'cargo upgrade' from cargo-edit, but it stooped working at some point.

cargo update

... It's that simple.

I think that only updates semver-compatible versions in the lock file.

I was looking for something that updates the cargo.toml to not necessarily compatible versions.

Since cargo-edit broke, I've had to do this by hand.

Since cargo-edit broke

Sparse indices support got added in last September. A perma-WIP pull request that added support for them existed for much longer.

I usually use cargo upgrade -i allow --pinned --verbose and that works just fine. What isn't working for you?

It was fixed.

The sparse index broke it for a few months.
