I was seeing an error like the following in my `rust-analyzer` output. ``` error: failed to load source for dependency `fontdue` Caused by: Unable to update https://github.com/xiphseer/fontdue.git?rev=67b963af0d5ca9e09bfeb0b5a9adf85c302d0a67 Caused by: failed to fetch into: /home/daniel/.local/share/cargo/git/db/fontdue-4d0b06b88bb2e092 Caused by: revision 67b963af0d5ca9e09bfeb0b5a9adf85c302d0a67 not found Caused by: failed to authenticate when downloading repository * attempted to find username/password via git's `credential.helper` support, but failed if the git CLI succeeds then `net.git-fetch-with-cli` may help here https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#netgit-fetch-with-cli Caused by: failed to acquire username/password from local configuration ``` I spent about 10 minutes reading the docs on *git authentication*, before realizing I had just typo'ed my own GitHub username. This PR adds a note to the reference that explicitly mentions wrong (not malformed) URLs as a cause of authentication errors. It's not directly on the linked <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html#netgit-fetch-with-cli> mainly because *Git Authentication* is already linked there, so it may catch more people and that's meant as the more detailed explanation anyway.
Cargo
Cargo downloads your Rust project’s dependencies and compiles your project.
To start using Cargo, learn more at The Cargo Book.
To start developing Cargo itself, read the Cargo Contributor Guide.
The Cargo binary distributed through with Rust is maintained by the Cargo team for use by the wider ecosystem. For all other uses of this crate (as a binary or library) this is maintained by the Cargo team, primarily for use by Cargo and not intended for external use (except as a transitive dependency). This crate may make major changes to its APIs.

Compiling from Source
Requirements
Cargo requires the following tools and packages to build:
cargoandrustc- A C compiler for your platform
git(to clone this repository)
Other requirements:
The following are optional based on your platform and needs.
-
pkg-config— This is used to help locate system packages, such aslibsslheaders/libraries. This may not be required in all cases, such as using vendored OpenSSL, or on Windows. -
OpenSSL — Only needed on Unix-like systems and only if the
vendored-opensslCargo feature is not used.This requires the development headers, which can be obtained from the
libssl-devpackage on Ubuntu oropenssl-develwith apk or yum or theopensslpackage from Homebrew on macOS.If using the
vendored-opensslCargo feature, then a static copy of OpenSSL will be built from source instead of using the system OpenSSL. This may require additional tools such asperlandmake.On macOS, common installation directories from Homebrew, MacPorts, or pkgsrc will be checked. Otherwise it will fall back to
pkg-config.On Windows, the system-provided Schannel will be used instead.
LibreSSL is also supported.
Optional system libraries:
The build will automatically use vendored versions of the following libraries. However, if they are provided by the system and can be found with pkg-config, then the system libraries will be used instead:
libcurl— Used for network transfers.libgit2— Used for fetching git dependencies.libssh2— Used for SSH access to git repositories.libz(aka zlib) — Used for data compression.
It is recommended to use the vendored versions as they are the versions that are tested to work with Cargo.
Compiling
First, you'll want to check out this repository
git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo.git
cd cargo
With cargo already installed, you can simply run:
cargo build --release
Adding new subcommands to Cargo
Cargo is designed to be extensible with new subcommands without having to modify Cargo itself. See the Wiki page for more details and a list of known community-developed subcommands.
Releases
Cargo releases coincide with Rust releases. High level release notes are available as part of Rust's release notes. Detailed release notes are available in the changelog.
