Script.swift is a small library that lets you write a Swift script with ease by using method chaining, inspired by bitfield/script.

Using Script.swift with swift-sh

When you want a script, you typically want it in a single file. With usual setup using Swift Package Manager to interact with external libraries, you would end up a directory with Package.swift, which is bit much as a script.

By using swift-sh, you only have to take care of a single Swift file for your script, which makes your Swift script as portable as possible.

Examples

Source	Script
echo.swift	Script().exec(#"echo "testing""#).stdout()
