Document cargo-add
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
cargo-add's PR was minimal to ensure we had settled on the CLI before
adding references to the CLI and have cascading churn.  This the command
documentation and adds references to that command.

## NAME

cargo-add - Add dependencies to a Cargo.toml manifest file

## SYNOPSIS

`cargo add` [_options_] _crate_...\
`cargo add` [_options_] `--path` _path_\
`cargo add` [_options_] `--git` _url_ [_crate_...]\


## DESCRIPTION

This command can add or modify dependencies.

The source for the dependency can be specified with:

* _crate_`@`_version_: Fetch from a registry with a version constraint of "_version_"
* `--path` _path_: Fetch from the specified _path_
* `--git` _url_: Pull from a git repo at _url_

If no source is specified, then a best effort will be made to select one, including:

* Existing dependencies in other tables (like `dev-dependencies`)
* Workspace members
* Latest release in the registry

When you add a package that is already present, the existing entry will be updated with the flags specified.

EXIT STATUS
o 0: Cargo succeeded.

o 101: Cargo failed to complete.

EXAMPLES
1. Add regex as a dependency

cargo add regex

2. Add trybuild as a dev-dependency
