项目历史

The public repository was created in 2019. The README frames the project as a response to the friction of turning a quick Swift script into a full Swift package just to use dependencies, offering a shebang-based workflow instead.

采用历史

The README documents Homebrew installation and explains that the installed `swift-sh` executable is discoverable through Swift's subcommand mechanism as `swift sh`. Homebrew lists bottles for macOS and Linux, matching the README's stated support for Linux and Mac.

使用方式

A script starts with `#!/usr/bin/swift sh` and declares dependencies in comments after import lines. swift-sh reads those comments, creates a cached SwiftPM package, builds it, and runs it with `swift run`; it also documents `swift sh edit` for Xcode editing and `swift sh eject` for converting a script into a package.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

swift-sh matters in package-manager culture because it narrows the gap between scripting and package-based dependency resolution. It makes SwiftPM usable for disposable or operational scripts without asking users to keep a full package directory around from the start.
