A simple tool to copy the source code of a specified package into a local directory.
Reads a Cargo.lock to determine version.
You can currently do:
wget https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/<crate>/<version>/download
But this appears to be undocumented and requires you to look up the required version.
You may want to use this tool when "overriding dependencies".
The crates guide suggests using git clone to download the source code you want to modify. However, this requires tracking down the specific branch that corresponds to the crate/version that you have been using (and it seems like most crate authors don't bother adding tags).
Usage: cargo-copy-dep [options]
Options:
-o, --output DIR Output directory
-c, --crate CRATE Crate to copy
-l, --cargo-lock Cargo.lock
