# Swift scripting resources



This is a list of tools, frameworks & examples that you might find useful when scripting in Swift 🚀



## Index



- [Tools](#tools)

- [Frameworks](#frameworks)

- [Examples](#examples)

- [Contributing](#contributing)



## Tools



### [Marathon](https://github.com/johnsundell/marathon)



Marathon makes it easy to write, run and manage your Swift scripts. Quickly create, edit, run, install & share your scripts, and easily add dependencies to them.



### [PackageBuilder](https://github.com/pixyzehn/PackageBuilder)



PackageBuilder builds a simple command-line structure using SPM. The structure follows the approach described in [Building a command line tool using the Swift Package Manager](https://www.swiftbysundell.com/posts/building-a-command-line-tool-using-the-swift-package-manager) separating your code between a framework and the executable.



### [Swift Package Manager](https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager)



The Package Manager for the Swift Programming Language. Using it you can manage your dependencies + compile & run your scripts. Also enables you to generate Xcode projects for your scripts.



## Frameworks



*While most Swift frameworks can be used in scripts, the ones in this list are particularily useful in tasks that are common when doing Swift scripting.*



### [Commandant](https://github.com/Carthage/Commandant)



Commandant is a Swift framework for parsing command-line arguments, inspired by Argo (which is, in turn, inspired by the Haskell library Aeson).



### [Commander](https://github.com/kylef/Commander)



Commander is a small Swift framework allowing you to craft beautiful command line interfaces in a composable way. Accept input in a type safe way with great error handling and provide descriptions for your arguments.



### [CommandLineKit](https://github.com/jatoben/CommandLine)



A pure Swift library for creating command-line interfaces. Using it, you can easily accept parameters & flags in your scripts, and print help messages & usage instructions for them.



### [Files](https://github.com/johnsundell/files)



A nicer way to handle files & folders in Swift. Files gives you an object-oriented API around the file system, making it easy to create, move, rename and handle files & folders in a script.



### [Guaka](https://github.com/oarrabi/Guaka)



Guaka helps you create modern and familiar CLI apps in the vein of widely used projects such as: Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift, Hugo and more.



### [Guitar](https://github.com/artsabintsev/guitar)



A Cross-Platform String and Regular Expression Library Written in Swift. Makes it easier to handle strings (such as input) in your scripts, evaluate regular expressions on them, transform them, and more.



### [Rainbow](https://github.com/onevcat/Rainbow)



Delightful console output for Swift developers. Rainbow makes it easy to color the text your script outputs on the command line.



### [Releases](https://github.com/johnsundell/releases)



A Swift package for resolving released versions from a Git repository. Enables you to easily build tooling around Git versions. Resolve, sort & filter versions for both remote & local repositories.



### [ShellOut](https://github.com/johnsundell/shellout)



Easily run shell commands from a Swift script or command line tool. Gives you a simple function that enables you to "shell out" and run tasks on the command line from your scripts.



### [Swiftline](https://github.com/oarrabi/Swiftline)



Swiftline is a set of tools to help you create command line applications.



### [SwiftShell](https://github.com/kareman/SwiftShell)



A library for creating command-line applications and running shell commands in Swift. It provides features such as running asynchronous tasks, handling contexts & errors and managing input & output.



### [Xgen](https://github.com/johnsundell/xgen)



A Swift package for generating Xcode workspaces & playgrounds. Using it, you can build developer tools & scripts that generates workspaces for your projects, or playgrounds for quick prototyping.



## Examples



### [Carting](https://github.com/artemnovichkov/Carting)



Carting is a simple tool for updating Carthage Build Phase.



### [Marathon Examples](https://github.com/johnsundell/marathon-examples)



A collection of example Swift scripts that can easily be run using Marathon.



### [Playground](https://github.com/JohnSundell/Playground)



Instantly create Swift playgrounds from the command line.



### [Selenops](https://github.com/zntfdr/Selenops)



A stupid simple Swift Web Crawler.



### [TestDrive](https://github.com/johnsundell/testdrive)



Quickly try out any Swift pod or framework in a playground.



## Contributing



This list is still in its early days, so a lot of awesome stuff is sure to be missing. If you know of a tool, framework or example that should be on this list - [**add it and open a PR**](https://github.com/JohnSundell/SwiftScripting/edit/master/README.md)! 👍 Before you do though, here are some quick guidelines:



- You can totally add your own creations.

- Only add things that are open source, and that are generally useful for Swift scripting.

- Don't add general Swift frameworks such as JSON mappers or networking libraries (there are other lists for that).

- Keep the list in alphabetical order.

- Follow the same style as for the other entries.

- No more than 2 lines of description for each entry.



Looking forward to your contributions and seeing this list grow! 🎉
