Create a Digital Garden CLI with Rust
Instructor
Chris Biscardi
In this course, Chris takes a README-driven approach to build out a Rust CLI that supports content authoring for a digital garden.
Specifically, you'll work through the first command for the CLI, writing files. You start by initializing a new Cargo binary crate by creating the write command that allows you to create files (and their contents) to the folder that you set.
🌱 This is a Fresh Course
This course is new and up to date — you'll get a great introduction to Rust and what to consider when building CLI tools.
