@Muscraft is considering adding a crate and we felt it was best to not just answer the question of how to do so but to document it!

# New Packages | ||
|
||
## Steps | ||
|
||
Choose the relevant parent directory | ||
- `credential/` for credential-process related packages | ||
- `benches/` for benchmarking of cargo itself | ||
- `crates/` for everything esle | ||
|
||
Run `cargo new <name>` | ||
- `<name>`: | ||
- We tend to use `-` over `_` | ||
- For internal APIs, to avoid collisions with third-party subcommands, we can use the `cargo-util-` prefix | ||
- For xtasks, we use the `xtask-` prefix | ||
- `package.rust-version` | ||
- Internal packages tend to have a policy of "latest" with a `# MSRV:1` comment to get it auto-updated | ||
- Ecosystem packages tend to have a policy of "N-2" with a `# MSRV:3` comment to get it auto-updated | ||
- If the right choice is inherited from the workspace, feel free to keep it that way | ||
- If running without [cargo new automatically adding to workspace](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/12779), add it as a workspace member if not already captured by a glob | ||
|
||
If its an xtask, | ||
- Add it to `.cargo/config.toml`s `[alias]` table | ||
- Mark `package.publish = false` | ||
|
||
If published, add the package to `publish.py`, in dependency order | ||
|
||
Note: by adding the package to the workspace, you automatically get | ||
- CI running `cargo test` | ||
- CI verifying MSRV | ||
- CI checking for `cargo doc` warnings |
