`cargo diet`

[20jasper]

background

60% of rust crates often do not have an explicit includes key, leading to including e2e tests, images, examples.

To fix this we can run cargo diet. I have been running cargo diet against all published crates via criner, so I have a list of common waste

how to fix

Run cargo diet -w --ignore-private to diet a workspace

To verify nothing went awry, you can package crate cargo package. There are some limitations such as runtime dependencies, which can cause false positives. For example, protoc-bin-vendored-linux-aarch_64 vendors a binary asset loaded at runtime

template

Adds explicit includes for `<crate>` to omit 37.3 kB of files (61% of total) under `/tests`, `/benches`, and `.github` from the published package. This removes extra files today, and prevents accidental inclusions later

Files removed from the package, by directory:

| Directory | Size | Files |
|---|---|---|
| `tests/**` | 16.9 kB | 1 |
| `benches/**` | 12.8 kB | 1 |
| `.github/**` | 7.4 kB | 7 |
| root config (`.clippy.toml`, `.rustfmt.toml`, `rust-toolchain.toml`, `.gitignore`) | 0.3 kB | 4 |

<ifExamples>
The examples are excluded from the published package, but they can be included if desired

Verified with package dry run and found with [cargo-diet](https://github.com/the-lean-crate/cargo-diet)

Top 50 repos to get started + ecosystem friends. GB/mo is uncompressed, so real bandwidth numbers will be quite a bit lower
