项目历史

The public GitHub repository was created in 2020. Its README describes the tool as a Swift subcommand inspired by cargo-outdated, adapting the familiar package-manager workflow of checking remote tags for newer dependency releases to Swift projects.

采用历史

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 Homebrew lists bottles for macOS and Linux, while the README documents invocation as `swift outdated`, matching Swift's subcommand convention.

使用方式

Typical usage is running `swift outdated` in a project to compare resolved package versions against upstream tags.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.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

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 swift-outdated makes Swift dependency drift visible in the same culture as `npm outdated` or `cargo outdated`, including the tricky cases of forks, registry dependencies, and Xcode-managed packages.
