How can I include a module from another file from the same project?

You don’t need the mod hello in your hello.rs file. Code in any file but the crate root (main.rs for executables, lib.rs for libraries) is automatically namespaced in a module.

To include the code from hello.rs in your main.rs, use mod hello;. It gets expanded to the code that is in hello.rs (exactly as you had before). Your file structure continues the same, and your code needs to be slightly changed:

main.rs:

mod hello;

fn main() {
    hello::print_hello();
}

hello.rs:

pub fn print_hello() {
    println!("Hello, world!");
}
