Chit: Crate help in terminal

A command-line tool for looking up details about rust crates without going to crates.io.

Chit helps answer these questions:

• Who wrote this crate? What else did they write?
• What alternatives are there for this crate?
• How old is this crate?
• What versions are there? When did they come out?
• What are the download numbers over time?
• Should I use this crate?
• How mature is it?

Installation

Cargo installed already? cargo install chit.

If not... find out how to install cargo!

Nix package manager

Roadmap:

(Would love Pull requests that build towards these objectives)

• Tests
  • Versions
  • Owners
  • Crate details
• Add a CI pipeline that runs the tests
• Make a logo for chit
• Add another command e.g. chit repo which might get meta data like stars and collaborator numbers etc
• Change error handling to use result types
• Use some more functional programming techniques to cut the code size down
• distribute through brew, apt-get, etc...
• expand the repository details returned by the repo command
