Carthage
A simple, decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa and Swift that builds frameworks and leaves project integration to the developer.
What is Carthage?
Carthage is a dependency manager for Cocoa and Swift applications. It fetches and builds project dependencies into binary frameworks, but unlike other tools, it does not automatically integrate them into your Xcode project, giving developers full control over their project setup.
iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS developers who prefer a lightweight, non-intrusive dependency manager that integrates seamlessly with their existing Xcode workflow.
Developers choose Carthage for its simplicity, decentralized approach, and because it avoids modifying project files automatically, offering greater flexibility and control compared to centralized alternatives.
