Action Summary

This GitHub Action, cargo-workspace-inheritance-check, is a tool designed to identify and resolve dependency inheritance issues in Rust Cargo workspaces. It ensures consistency by checking for direct version specifications in member crates instead of using the shared [workspace.dependencies], flags version mismatches, and identifies dependencies suitable for centralization at the workspace level. The tool automates the detection and correction of these issues, helping developers prevent version drift, reduce redundancy, and maintain clean dependency management in their projects.

What’s Changed

Added

  • Alternate registry support: dependencies using registry = "my-registry" are now handled correctly
    • A member dep only matches a workspace dep if both use the same registry (or both use the default crates.io)
    • Promotion candidates are grouped by (name, registry) pair — deps from different registries are not grouped together
    • --fix strips registry from member deps when converting to { workspace = true } (the workspace dep owns the registry)
    • --fix carries registry into promoted workspace deps
