This Repository

I made this repository with:

cargo new quickly-explore-rs

It made a few files:

• Cargo.toml
  • Which defines your package's dependencies and a few other things.
• .gitignore
  • Which ignores the target directory, which is your build output.
• src/main.rs
  • Which is the source code for this application.

Files that may get generated for you as you poke around:

• target/*
  • Your build directory.
• Cargo.lock
  • Dependency reification lock file - documentation
  • If you're authoring an application, yes you commit it to your source tree. If you're authoring a library, no, you don't commit it.
  • Even though this repository is an application, we are not committing it, so it remains closer to "as generated."

cargo won't make the following files present in this repository:

• README.md
• book/
• rust-toolchain.toml
• .github/

Those have been added after the initial build-out, for documentation, publishing & pinning purposes.
