Action Summary

Cargo Binstall is a lightweight tool for installing precompiled Rust binaries, serving as an alternative to cargo install or manual downloads. It automates the process by fetching crate information, locating compatible release artifacts, and falling back to cargo install if necessary, streamlining installations for both developers and CI environments. This reduces build times and simplifies dependency management by leveraging existing release binaries.
