https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/config.html

Gives the following list:

  • /projects/foo/bar/baz/.cargo/config
  • /projects/foo/bar/.cargo/config
  • /projects/foo/.cargo/config
  • /projects/.cargo/config
  • /.cargo/config
  • $CARGO_HOME/config ($CARGO_HOME defaults to $HOME/.cargo)

Yet on windows neither of the two suggested path variables seem to exist:

D:\dev\terbium>echo %CARGO_HOME% 
%CARGO_HOME%

D:\dev\terbium>echo %HOME%       
%HOME%

The actual .cargo directory seems to be located in C:\Users\<username>\.cargo, so that should be mentioned.

Yea, $HOME is usually %USERPROFILE% on windows, seems reasonable to mention that!
