How to switch between Rust toolchains?

问题

rustup help toolchain lists the following sub-commands

SUBCOMMANDS:
    list         List installed toolchains
    install      Install or update a given toolchain
    uninstall    Uninstall a toolchain
    link         Create a custom toolchain by symlinking to a directory
    help         Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

I have the following toolchains installed

stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (default)
nightly-2019-09-05-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
nightly-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
master

I was trying to solve an issue for rust-clippy so I had to install the master toolchain. Even though stable is set as my default toolchain, my current toolchain is master and I would like to switch back to stable. How do I do it without uninstalling the master toolchain?

Is there no switch subcommand?

回答1:

Use rustup default <toolchain> to change the default toolchain. You can use the full name (e.g. rustup default stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) or a short alias (e.g. rustup default stable).

rustup also has methods to override the default in a more scoped manner. See Override precedence in rustup's README.
