The :add command is pretty useful, since it can be used with local crates, for example:

:add tokio will add tokio from crates.io
:add --path ./tokio will add local crate tokio

We can use this for interactive usage:

• Create a new project to test: cargo new --lib demo

• cd demo; irust

• Now in IRust run:

  • :add --path . to add current path as dependency
  • use demo::*;

• Now any public function written in lib.rs will be immediately usable in IRust after saving the file!
