How to verify that cargo metadata is correct in local environment?

Hi.

I plan to add binstall support for many crates. But the main issue is how to verify that the metadata such as bin-dir, pkg-url, etc are correct.
I want to make sure they are correct and valid before making a PR. I can commit -> push -> try downloading with bininstall -> iterate again, for my own repo. But, I don't think it is the cool way for popular repo.

How to verify the metadata is correct in our local machine? Without pushing the cargo metadata commit?

Thanks!

You can use --manifest-path to install using Cargo.toml from your local filesystem.
