Its package-manager relevance is that it ships not just a library but a project generator and service-running workflow through `cot`/cot-cli. ### Project history The cot-rs/cot repository was created in June 2024. The README describes Cot as a modern, fast Rust web framework built on axum and familiar to Django users, with integrated ORM, admin panel, templates, security defaults, and documentation. ### Adoption history Cot is newer and smaller than established Rust web frameworks, but its crates.io badge, GitHub releases, Homebrew formula, and Nix package entry show early packaging beyond direct `cargo install`. Its adoption story is therefore early-stage package availability rather than broad ecosystem standardization. ### How it is used The guide shows the CLI creating projects and running services, with `-c` or `--config` selecting configuration and `config/dev.toml` as the default development config. That makes the Homebrew package useful for developers who want the generator and runtime command available outside a single Cargo workspace. ### Why package nerds care For package maintainers, Cot is a Rust CLI plus framework stack with code generation and config-file conventions. It is the kind of package where keeping the CLI version aligned with the framework crates matters more than merely installing a standalone binary. ### Timeline - 2024: cot-rs/cot repository created. - 2025: First GitHub releases published. - 2026: Project continued publishing releases and package-manager entries. ### Related projects - Rust, axum, Django, crates.io, cot-cli. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
