Open Source Swift Package Managers for Linux

Beak is a command-line interface tool for Swift scripts, enabling developers to execute public global functions defined in Swift files directly from the terminal. It simplifies scripting tasks by allowing Swift files to act as executable scripts, replacing traditional scripting tools like Make or Rake with Swift's expressive syntax. Beak supports dependency management through annotations and integrates seamlessly with Swift Package Manager.​

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing distribution of source code, aimed at making it easy to share your code and reuse others’ code. The tool directly addresses the challenges of compiling and linking Swift packages, managing dependencies, versioning, and supporting flexible distribution and collaboration models. We’ve designed the system to make it easy to share packages on services like GitHub, but packages are also great for private personal development, sharing code within a team, or at any other granularity. Swift Package Manager includes a build system that can build for macOS and Linux. Starting with Xcode 11, Xcode integrates with SwiftPM to provide support for including packages in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS applications. The SourceKit-LSP project leverages libSwiftPM and provides Language Server Protocol implementation for editors that support LSP.
