`cargo diet`

[20jasper]

background

60% of rust crates often do not have an explicit includes key, leading to including e2e tests, images, examples.

To fix this we can run cargo diet. I have been running cargo diet against all published crates via criner, so I have a list of common waste

how to fix

Run cargo diet --workspace --ignore-private to diet a workspace

To verify nothing went awry, you can package crate cargo package. There are some limitations such as runtime dependencies, which can cause false positives. For example, protoc-bin-vendored-linux-aarch_64 vendors a binary asset loaded at runtime

Most libraries do not have packaged tests run, but the linux ecosystem often does. In those cases, consider if any test files are unreferenced or text fixtures could be trimmed

template

Adds explicit includes for `<crate>` to omit 37.3 kB of files (61% of total) under `/tests`, `/benches`, and `.github` from the published package. This removes extra files today, and prevents accidental inclusions later

Files removed from the package, by directory:

| Directory | Size | Files |
|---|---|---|
| `tests/**` | 16.9 kB | 1 |
| `benches/**` | 12.8 kB | 1 |
| `.github/**` | 7.4 kB | 7 |
| root config (`.clippy.toml`, `.rustfmt.toml`, `rust-toolchain.toml`, `.gitignore`) | 0.3 kB | 4 |

[here is a list of all newly excluded files](link)

<ifExamples>
The examples are excluded from the published package, but they can be included if desired

Top 50 repos to get started + ecosystem friends. GB/mo is uncompressed, so real bandwidth numbers will be quite a bit lower
