## 项目历史与用法

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa. Its README says it builds dependencies and provides binary frameworks while leaving project structure and build settings under the developer's control.

### 项目历史

The public repository was created in 2014, during the period when Swift and modern Cocoa dependency management were taking shape. Carthage's official pitch was simplicity and decentralization: dependencies are declared in a Cartfile, resolved to exact versions in Cartfile.resolved, and built or downloaded without automatically editing the Xcode project.

### 采用历史

Carthage became a major alternative to CocoaPods for iOS and macOS projects that preferred explicit framework integration. Its documentation emphasizes manual Xcode integration, shared schemes, tagged releases, binary framework archives, and reproducible bootstrap through committed Cartfile.resolved files.

### 使用方式

A typical project creates a Cartfile next to its .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace, runs carthage update, then adds built frameworks or XCFrameworks from Carthage/Build into Xcode. Carthage can also checkout dependencies into Carthage/Checkouts, use Git submodules, cache builds, and authenticate binary framework downloads through ~/.netrc when --use-netrc is set.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

Carthage is one of the canonical package-manager stories in Apple development: it rejects project mutation as a feature, relies on Git tags and semantic versions, and treats dependency builds as visible artifacts. For package-manager catalogs, it is a historically important Cocoa tool because it captures a distinct design point from CocoaPods and Swift Package Manager.

### 时间线

- 2014: Public GitHub repository created.
- 2021: README says version 0.37.0 encouraged XCFrameworks and required them for Apple Silicon Macs.
- 2020s: Documentation describes Cartfile, Cartfile.private, Cartfile.resolved, Carthage/Build, Carthage/Checkouts, and the shared cache under ~/Library/Caches/org.carthage.CarthageKit.

### Related projects

- Official documentation compares Carthage's approach with CocoaPods.
- Carthage operates in the Cocoa, Xcode, Swift, iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS ecosystem.
- Its artifacts and binary-project-specification docs connect it to GitHub releases and HTTPS-hosted framework archives.
