A new chapter

ℹ️ Cargo projects cannot be named leading from a digit

To create a new chapter-related subfolder, please use the following format: cargo new N_name --name _N_name

Quick commands

ℹ️ Update N and NAME variable values

Unix-like:

N=02; NAME=concepts; cargo new "${N}_${NAME}" --name "_${N}_${NAME}"

Windows (Powershell):

$N='02'; $NAME='concepts'; cargo new ${N}_${NAME} --name _${N}_${NAME}
