Its README describes the tool as a Swift subcommand inspired by cargo-outdated, adapting the familiar package-manager workflow of checking remote tags for newer dependency releases to Swift projects. ### Adoption history The project is packaged for Homebrew and Mint, which puts it in the normal install paths used by Swift command-line developers. Homebrew lists bottles for macOS and Linux, while the README documents invocation as `swift outdated`, matching Swift's subcommand convention. ### How it is used Typical usage is running `swift outdated` in a project to compare resolved package versions against upstream tags. The README documents direct versus transitive dependency reporting, package-registry dependencies, branch and revision pins, fork-upstream mapping, Xcode project support, and optional security checks through OSV and OpenSSF Scorecard. ### Why package nerds care The tool fills a gap package-manager users notice quickly: `swift package update` respects declared requirements, so it can leave major releases invisible. swift-outdated makes Swift dependency drift visible in the same culture as `npm outdated` or `cargo outdated`, including the tricky cases of forks, registry dependencies, and Xcode-managed packages. ### Timeline - 2020: Public GitHub repository created. - Current docs: Installed by Homebrew or Mint and invoked as `swift outdated`. - Current docs: Supports SwiftPM, Tuist, plain Xcode projects, package registries, fork mappings, branch and revision pins, and security checks. ### Related projects - The README names cargo-outdated as an inspiration and documents SwiftPM, Tuist, Xcode package references, OSV, and OpenSSF Scorecard as part of the supported workflow. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.description ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
