I turned The Rust Book into a crate

Imagine, if you had a companion program beside your code editor, that you could quickly type stuff into, and get meaningful examples and explanations on how to do anything in Rust?

I just published a Rust crate called TheBook.

TheBook is a command line utility that allows you to SEARCH and READ The Rust Programming Language (popularly known as 'The Book' ) from the terminal, completely offline. It searches through 'The Book' for your search query and generates interactive pages containing code examples and explanations fetched from a local copy of 'The Book'.

TheBook renders markdown in the terminal and provides a browser-like experience. It is geared towards Rust beginners who are not quite familiar with the Rust syntax, and Rust experts who want the luxury of typing a few commands in the terminal to look up a certain Rust concept.

Thebook also doubles as a 'The Book' launcher which opens 'The Book' in your web browser.

All you need is 'cargo install thebook'
Then run 'thebook what you want to search'
