kiliankoe/swift-outdated

A swift subcommand for checking if your dependencies have an update available. This especially applies to updates outside of your version requirements.

Installing

Homebrew

swift-outdated can be installed via Homebrew.

$ brew install swift-outdated

Mint

swift-outdated can also be installed via Mint.

$ mint install kiliankoe/swift-outdated

Usage

Since swift-outdated installs with its name, it can be called just like a subcommand of Swift itself via swift outdated.

$ swift outdated
| Package               | Current | Latest | URL                                                |
|-----------------------|---------|--------|----------------------------------------------------|
| rainbow               | 3.2.0   | 4.0.1  | https://github.com/onevcat/rainbow.git             |
| swift-argument-parser | 1.1.4   | 1.2.2  | https://github.com/apple/swift-argument-parser.git |

This lists all your outdated dependencies, the currently resolved version and the latest version available in their upstream repository.

Listing all dependencies

swift-outdated also allows listing all your dependencies alongside the ones that are not up to date.

Run the application using -u or --include-up-to-date command line switch and it will print out current dependencies with their version and ignored ones with their revisions.

Library

This packages also exposes a library target called Outdated. Use this if you want to integrate the functionality into your project.

Here's a basic usage example.

import Outdated

let pins = try SwiftPackage.currentPackagePins(in: .current)
let packages = await SwiftPackage.collectVersions(for: pins, ignoringPrerelease: true)
packages.output(format: .markdown)

Xcode

swift-outdated also supports Xcode projects that use Swift packages for their dependency management. Either run it manually inside your repo or set up a Run Script Phase. In the latter case swift-outdated emits warnings for your outdated dependencies.

Be aware however that using a Run Script Phase in this way will fetch available versions for all of your dependencies on every build, which will increase your build time by a second or two. You're probably better off running this manually every now and then.
