From 2285eb2f2429daadf9d57f08137b472139470aa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trevor Gross Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2023 02:04:37 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: rust: clarify what 'rustup override' does The behavior of 'rustup override' is not very well known. Add a small note about what it does, so users have a better understanding of how it affects their system toolchain (i.e., it does not affect system toolchain and only sets a directory-specific override).
