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
