| ### Common Options |
| |
| {{#options}} |
| |
| {{#option "`+`_toolchain_"}} |
| If Cargo has been installed with rustup, and the first argument to `cargo` |
| begins with `+`, it will be interpreted as a rustup toolchain name (such |
| as `+stable` or `+nightly`). |
| See the [rustup documentation](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/overrides.html) |
| for more information about how toolchain overrides work. |
| {{/option}} |
| |
| {{#option "`--config` _KEY=VALUE_ or _PATH_"}} |
| Overrides a Cargo configuration value. The argument should be in TOML syntax of `KEY=VALUE`, |
| or provided as a path to an extra configuration file. This flag may be specified multiple times. |
| See the [command-line overrides section](../reference/config.html#command-line-overrides) for more information. |
| {{/option}} |
| |
| {{#option "`-C` _PATH_"}} |
| Changes the current working directory before executing any specified operations. This affects |
| things like where cargo looks by default for the project manifest (`Cargo.toml`), as well as |
| the directories searched for discovering `.cargo/config.toml`, for example. This option must |
| appear before the command name, for example `cargo -C path/to/my-project build`. |
| |
| This option is only available on the [nightly |
| channel](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/appendix-07-nightly-rust.html) and |
| requires the `-Z unstable-options` flag to enable (see |
| [#10098](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/10098)). |
| {{/option}} |
| |
| {{#option "`-h`" "`--help`"}} |
| Prints help information. |
| {{/option}} |
| |
| {{#option "`-Z` _flag_"}} |
| Unstable (nightly-only) flags to Cargo. Run `cargo -Z help` for details. |
