✨ Highlights

• Modern Cargo layout (src/lib.rs, src/main.rs, tests/)
• Lint & format with clippy and rustfmt
• GitHub Actions: tests, quality, package build, Docker publish, release drafter, Rust-aware labeler, secret scans, semantic PR, weekly dependency update
• Multi-stage Dockerfile producing a minimal runtime image

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites: Rust toolchain (rustup), Docker (optional)

make fmt            # rustfmt + clippy
make test           # cargo test (all targets)
make test-verbose   # cargo test (all targets with verbose output)
make coverage       # generate LCOV coverage report
make build          # cargo build (release mode)
make build-release  # cargo build --release
make run            # run the release binary
make clean          # clean build artifacts and caches
make package        # build crate package (allow dirty)
make help           # list targets

🐳 Docker

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --target prod -t ghcr.io/<owner>/<repo>:latest .
docker run --rm ghcr.io/<owner>/<repo>:latest

Or using the actual binary name:

docker build -f docker/Dockerfile --target prod -t rust_template:latest .
docker run --rm rust_template:latest

📦 Packaging

make package        # build crate package (allow dirty)
# or use cargo directly:
cargo package --locked --allow-dirty
# CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN=... cargo publish

CI builds run automatically on tags matching v* and upload the .crate file. Uncomment the publish step in build_package.yml to automate crates.io releases.

🧩 Cross Builds

This template does not ship cross-compile tooling by default. If you need cross or zig-based builds locally, install and configure them per your environment.

GitHub Actions build_release.yml builds multi-platform release binaries on tags matching v* and uploads them to the GitHub Release assets.

Targets:

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
• aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, aarch64-unknown-linux-musl
• x86_64-apple-darwin, aarch64-apple-darwin
• x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, aarch64-pc-windows-msvc

Assets naming:

• <bin>-v<version>-<target>.tar.gz (all platforms)
• <bin>-v<version>-<target>.zip (Windows additionally)

🔁 CI/CD Workflows

Main Workflows

• Tests (test.yml): cargo build/test + generate LCOV coverage report and upload artifact
• Code Quality (code-quality-check.yml): rustfmt check + clippy (deny warnings)
• Build Package (build_package.yml): package on tag v*, optional crates.io publish
• Publish Docker Image (build_image.yml): push to GHCR on main/master and tags v*
• Build Release (build_release.yml): Linux release binaries uploaded on tags v*

Additional Automation

• Auto Labeler (auto_labeler.yml): automatically label PRs based on branch names and file changes
• Code Scan (code_scan.yml): multi-layer security scanning (GitLeaks, Trufflehog secret scanning, CodeQL code analysis, Trivy vulnerability scanning)
• Release Drafter (release_drafter.yml): auto-generate release notes
• Semantic PR (semantic-pull-request.yml): enforce PR title format
• Dependabot weekly dependency updates

🤝 Contributing

• Open issues/PRs

• Use Conventional Commits for PR titles

• Keep code formatted and clippy‑clean

• After every edit, run cargo build to confirm compilation is successful

• Before opening a PR, please run locally:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
  • cargo test
