Mint
A package manager for installing and running executable Swift command line tool packages built with Swift Package Manager.
What is Mint?
Mint is a package manager specifically designed for Swift command line tool packages that build with the Swift Package Manager (SPM). It simplifies the installation, execution, and distribution of these tools by managing versions and caching builds centrally, making it easier for developers to use and share Swift-based utilities.
Swift developers who create or use command line tools built with the Swift Package Manager, particularly those needing version management and distribution without Homebrew formulas.
Developers choose Mint over alternatives like Homebrew because it allows running multiple versions of a package side-by-side, caches builds to avoid redundant compilations, and distributes Swift executables directly via SPM without complex recipes.
