Detect Rust in any GitHub repo

Rust is a systems programming language focused on memory safety and performance without a garbage collector, built with Cargo.

Why show Rust on your README

Rust projects often embed WebAssembly or a Tauri frontend; the card shows the full combination from Cargo.toml and the file tree.

How Rust is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Rust when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: Cargo.toml
  • File extensions: .rs

Rust README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Rust (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
