It occupies a smaller but recognizable package-manager niche: source-code documentation tooling that can be installed with Homebrew or Mint and run from a project checkout. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created in January 2021. The official README describes a command-line tool and Swift Package for generating class diagrams powered by PlantUML from Swift files. The project grew around SourceKit-backed Swift source inspection. Its README documents command-line operation, Swift Package use, an Xcode source editor extension, and configuration through `.swiftplantuml.yml`. ### Adoption history Official installation instructions include Homebrew, Mint, and source builds. The README also notes that the Homebrew installation previously used the maintainer's tap before the plain `brew install swiftplantuml` command became available. GitHub release metadata shows public releases through the 0.8.x series in 2024. Compared with SwiftLint or SwiftFormat, the official record supports a narrower adoption story centered on diagram generation rather than general Swift build hygiene. ### How it is used Common usage is running `swiftplantuml` or the default `classdiagram` subcommand against files or directories containing Swift sources. The tool can emit or view generated PlantUML output and can use `.swiftplantuml.yml` for includes, excludes, access-level filtering, relationship display, and theming. Because SwiftPlantUML hooks into SourceKit, the README tells users to run it with the same Swift toolchain used to compile the code. ### Why package nerds care SwiftPlantUML matters to package nerds as an example of a small Swift CLI that packages compiler-adjacent source inspection into a reusable tool. Its Homebrew and Mint support make architecture documentation reproducible without requiring every developer to build from source. It also shows the packaging friction around SourceKit tools: the binary is simple to install, but correctness can still depend on the active Swift/Xcode toolchain. ### Timeline - 2021: GitHub repository created. - 2024: GitHub release metadata lists 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 releases. - 2024: Generated API documentation was updated for the 0.8.1 release. ### Related projects - Related projects include PlantUML, SourceKit, SwiftFormat, SwiftLint, Mint, Homebrew, and the separate SwiftPlantUML Xcode extension. ### Sources - - - - input.source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** swiftplantuml - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Requirements:** macos, xcode - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [overarch](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/overarch/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagram-generation, diagramming, plantuml. - [clang-uml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/clang-uml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, plantuml, uml. - [eralchemy](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/eralchemy/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagram-generation, diagramming. - [plantuml](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/plantuml/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, uml. - [sdedit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/sdedit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, uml. - [umlet](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/umlet/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming, uml. - [d2](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/d2/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. - [diagram](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/diagram/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, diagramming. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
