Create a Digital Garden CLI with Rust
In this course, Chris takes a README-driven approach to build out a Rust CLI that supports content authoring for a digital garden.
Specifically, you'll work through the first command for the CLI, writing files. You start by initializing a new Cargo binary crate by creating the write command that allows you to create files (and their contents) to the folder that you set.
What you'll learn:
- Handle user input
- Error handling
- Rust move semantics
- Rust copy semantics
- Integration testing
Questions to Think About:
- What makes an API "good"?
- Why create a CLI app?
- How should I handle errors?

- What did you like about this course?
The course is great. But I strongly recommend that you have read the Rust Book (online version) at least up to chapter 14, before taking it.
