history

Project history and usage

cargo-udeps is a Cargo subcommand for finding unused dependencies declared in Cargo.toml.

Project history

The official README says cargo-udeps finds unused dependencies in Cargo.toml and needs Rust nightly to run, while compiling on stable.

Adoption history

GitHub records the repository as created in August 2019, and crates.io records the first release shortly after. The README lists Nix/NixOS, Arch Linux, and Homebrew packages; the input package facts also list Alpine.

How it is used

The README documents `cargo +nightly udeps`, package and workspace Cargo.toml metadata for ignore lists, and pre-commit hook usage.

Why package nerds care

cargo-udeps is useful to maintainers because unused dependencies affect build time, dependency graphs, packaging policy, and audit surface; its README trophy case records real projects where unused dependencies were removed.

Timeline

  • 2019: GitHub repository created and first crates.io release recorded.
  • 2026: crates.io records max_version 0.1.61.

Related projects

  • The README links deps.rs status and lists downstream projects where cargo-udeps found unused dependencies.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
