## Use cases
Note that this Action is not required usually
and you can just use [`run`](https://help.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepsrun)
step instead as in example below:
```yaml
jobs:
build_and_test:
name: Rust project
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- uses: actions-rs/toolchain@v1
with:
toolchain: stable
- run: cargo build --release --all-features
```
Why would you want to use this Action instead:
1. Transparent `cross` installation and execution with `use-cross: true` input enabled
2. Warnings and errors issued by `cargo` will be displayed in GitHub UI
