cargo version (with examples)
The cargo version command is used to display the version information of the cargo package manager. This command is useful to know the version of cargo installed on your system, especially when you need to troubleshoot issues or ensure compatibility with other tools or projects.
Display the version of cargo
To display the version of cargo, simply run the following command in your terminal:
cargo version
This command will output the version of cargo installed on your system. For example:
cargo 1.56.0 (03c7dc6cf 2021-10-21)
The version number will vary depending on the installed version.
Display additional build information
To display additional build information along with the cargo version, you can use the --verbose flag. This can be useful when you need more detailed information about the build environment or dependencies.
cargo version --verbose
This command will provide more detailed output about the build. For example:
cargo 1.56.0 (03c7dc6cf 2021-10-21)
release: 1.56.0
commit-hash: 03c7dc6cf57dfd346b0e64fb6b16cf5c4291fd27

The additional information includes the release version, commit hash, and commit date.
Using the cargo version command with the --verbose flag can be helpful when you are troubleshooting build issues or need to share detailed build information with others.
By using these two variations of the cargo version command, you can easily obtain the version of cargo installed on your system and get additional details about the build environment. This information can be crucial for ensuring compatibility, troubleshooting, and sharing build information.
