Rust Project Repository Structure
TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc
What is a good respository structure for a Rust project that might have multiple binaries and grow over time?A good repository structure for a Rust project with multiple binaries and potential growth over time should be modular, organized, and easy to navigate. Here's a recommended structure:
my_project/
├── Cargo.toml
├── README.md
├── .gitignore
├── src/
│ ├── main.rs
│ ├── lib.rs
│ ├── bin/
│ │ ├── binary1.rs
│ │ └── binary2.rs
│ ├── utils/
│ │ ├── mod.rs
│ │ └── ...
│ └── ...
└── tests/
├── integration_test1.rs
└── ...

: The source folder containing all your Rust code.main.rs
