3. Build a Command-line Tool

Let’s write a small application with your new Swift development environment.

Create a directory:

mkdir MyCLI

Change the directory:

cd MyCLI

Create a new project:

swift package init --name MyCLI --type executable

Run the program with

swift run MyCLI

You can continue to expand the program with additional features. Check out the getting started guide for command line tools.
