Putting (new) Rust binary crates on a solid base.

foundation-rs: putting Rust projects on a solid base

foundation-rs is a set of repositories that contain common files aimed to put (new) Rust projects on a solid base as fast as possible. These files include:

• a proper rustfmt configuration file with a license header,
• a cargo workspace for auxiliary build tools,
• the build tool quality-control which runs rustfmt --check, clippy, debug/release tests, and optionally miri, in a platform-independent manner,
• the cargo alias cargo quality-control,
• a GitHub Action that runs cargo quality-control on the new HEAD after a git push
• a GitHub Action that runs cargo quality-control on every single commit in a pull request.

The repository foundation-common-rs contains all files that library and binary Rust crates can have in common. The repository foundation-lib-rs contains the common files as well as an otherwise empty Rust project created by cargo new --lib. The repository foundation-bin-rs contains the common files as well as an otherwise empty Rust project created by cargo new --bin.

Disclaimer

foundation-rs is a setup that I deem to be useful for Rust projects, especially for my own Rust projects. YMMV.

Thank You

The implementation of the tools workspace and cargo quality-control is based on the blog post “Make Your Own Make” by matklad.
