swift-sh is a command-line tool that lets you write Swift scripts with third-party dependencies declared inline via import comments, without creating a full Swift package. It fetches and resolves dependencies automatically so single-file scripts can run directly.

Use cases

• write quick swift scripts with third-party dependencies
• run a single swift file that imports a github package
• replace heavyweight swift package setup for small scripts
• make executable swift scripts with a shebang
• pin exact versions or commits of script dependencies
• prototype swift code without swift build

When to choose

• you want one-file swift scripts that use external packages
• you find swift package manager too heavy for quick automation tasks
• you need version pinning inline in scripts
• you work on macOS or Linux with Swift installed

When to avoid

• you need a full multi-file package with tests and resources
• you need Windows support today
• your project is a library or app rather than a script
