XcodeGen
A Swift command line tool that generates Xcode projects from a YAML/JSON spec to eliminate merge conflicts and sync files with disk.
What is XcodeGen?
XcodeGen is a Swift command-line tool that generates Xcode projects from a declarative YAML or JSON specification file. It automates project setup by parsing source directories and applying configurations, eliminating the need to manually manage `.xcodeproj` files. This solves the problem of merge conflicts in version control and ensures the Xcode project always reflects the actual file structure.
iOS and macOS developers working on solo or team projects who want to automate Xcode project management and avoid merge conflicts. It's especially useful for projects with complex configurations, multiple targets, or those integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
Developers choose XcodeGen because it replaces error-prone manual Xcode project configuration with a reproducible, version-controlled spec. Its key advantage is eliminating `.xcodeproj` merge conflicts while keeping file groups synchronized with disk, saving time and reducing configuration errors.
