Find unused dependencies in Cargo.toml.

While compilation of this tool also works on Rust stable, it needs Rust nightly to actually run.

https://github.com/est31/cargo-udeps/releases

cargo install cargo-udeps --locked

cargo install --git https://github.com/est31/cargo-udeps --locked

Some package managers have packaged cargo-udeps:

• Nix/Nix OS: cargo-udeps
• Arch Linux: pacman -S cargo-udeps
• Homebrew: brew install cargo-udeps

cargo +nightly udeps

It either prints out a "unused crates" line listing the crates, or it prints out a line saying that no crates were unused.

To ignore some of the dependencies, add package.metadata.cargo-udeps.ignore to Cargo.toml.

[package.metadata.cargo-udeps.ignore]
normal = ["if_chain"]
#development = []
#build = []

[dependencies]
if_chain = "1.0.0" # Used only in doc-tests, which `cargo-udeps` cannot check.

Alternatively, add dependencies to workspace.metadata.cargo-udeps.ignore in the workpace Cargo.toml to ignore them in all packages in the workspace.

• Some unused crates might not be detected. This includes crates used by std and its dependencies as well as crates that are already being used by dependencies of the studied crate.

• Crates are currently only handled on a per name basis. Two crates with the same name but different versions would be a problem.

This is a list of cases where unused dependencies were found using cargo-udeps. You are welcome to expand it:
