Welcome to Marathon, a command line tool that makes it easy to write, run and manage your Swift scripts. It's powered by the Swift Package Manager and requires no modification to your existing scripts or dependency packages.

Features

🏃‍♀️ Run scripts

$ marathon run helloWorld
> Hello world

📦 Hassle free dependency management. Simply add a package...

$ marathon add [email protected]:JohnSundell/Files.git

...and use it without any additional work

import Files

for file in try Folder(path: "MyFolder").files {
    print(file.name)
}

🚀 Update all of your scripting dependencies with a single call

$ marathon update

⚒ Edit, run & debug your scripts using Xcode...

$ marathon edit helloWorld

...or in your favorite text editor

$ marathon edit helloWorld -no-xcode

👪 Share your scripts with your team and automatically install their dependencies:

$ echo "[email protected]:JohnSundell/Files.git" > Marathonfile
$ marathon run mySharedScript

Installing

Using Make:

$ git clone [email protected]:JohnSundell/Marathon.git
$ cd Marathon
$ make

Using the Swift Package Manager:

$ git clone [email protected]:JohnSundell/Marathon.git
$ cd Marathon
$ swift build -c release -Xswiftc -static-stdlib
$ cp -f .build/release/Marathon /usr/local/bin/marathon

Using a Marathonfile

To easily be able to define depenencies for a script in a declarative way, you can create a Marathonfile in the same folder as your script. This file is simply a new line separated list of URLs pointing to packages that should be installed before running the script. By doing this you can ensure that the required dependencies will be installed when sharing your script with team members, friends or the wider community.

Here is an example of a Marathonfile:

[email protected]:JohnSundell/Files.git
[email protected]:JohnSundell/Unbox.git
[email protected]:JohnSundell/Wrap.git
