Dependencies on Git repositories

Depending on a library stored in the Git version control system, either locally or remotely, is also easy. The linking code is slightly different, but it looks like this:

    [dependencies]
    thing = { git = "https://github.com/example/thing" }

We tell Rust where to find the repository, and it knows how to check it out, compile it, and link it with our program. The repository location doesn't have to be a URL; it can be any repository location that the git command recognizes.
