yonaskolb/Mint

Mint is a command-line tool for managing Swift Package Manager executables, allowing users to install, run, and uninstall packages. It provides commands for bootstrapping projects, checking for outdated dependencies, and locating installed binaries, while supporting custom installation paths via environment variables. The system is structured with a dedicated library for core package management logic and includes comprehensive test coverage for its configuration parsing and command execution features.

The MintKit library has been added to provide a structured, reusable API for Mint's core package management capabilities. This new component introduces dedicated types for handling package references, parsing Mintfile configurations, managing installation caches, and resolving package versions from Git repositories. It also includes utilities for reading user input and handling installation status checks, effectively centralizing the logic previously scattered across the CLI into a dedicated library layer.

The Mint CLI has been updated to version 0.18.0 and now includes three new commands: \bootstrap\, \which\, and \outdated\. These are added to the existing set of commands (run, install, uninstall, list), expanding the tool's capabilities for managing Swift Package Manager executables. The CLI also respects the \MINT\_PATH\ and \MINT\_LINK\_PATH\ environment variables for customizing installation and linking directories.

The command-line interface has been updated with several new capabilities and behavioral changes. The \install\ and \bootstrap\ commands now support an \--overwrite\ flag to automatically replace existing symlinks, and \install\ adds \--force\ for reinstallation and \--no-link\ to skip global linkage. The \run\ command introduces \--no-install\ to execute without installing, and \--executable\ to specify which binary to run. A new \outdated\ command lists packages in a Mintfile that have newer versions available, while \which\ prints the full path to an installed executable. Additionally, the \--silent\ flag is now available on package-based commands to suppress output.

The main entry point for the Mint tool has been updated to import and execute the MintCLI module, replacing the previous placeholder 'Hello, world!' print statement. This change activates the actual command-line interface logic defined in the MintCLI module, enabling users to interact with Mint's features rather than seeing a static message.

This change adds comprehensive tests for the Mint CLI's core functionality. It introduces tests for parsing Mintfile configurations (including comments, versioning, and case-insensitive repo lookup), resolving package references from various URL formats (GitHub, custom domains, SSH), and verifying package path generation. It also adds integration tests for the \install\, \run\, \bootstrap\, and \which\ commands, ensuring correct behavior for installing specific versions, latest versions, SHA-based versions, and global linking.

Tests · high confidence

The project has been upgraded to require Swift 5.9, introducing a new package structure with separate \Mint\, \MintCLI\, and \MintKit\ targets. Core dependencies have been updated to specific versions: SwiftCLI to 6.0.3, Rainbow to 4.0.1, PathKit to 1.0.1, and Version to 2.0.1, while Spectre remains pinned at 0.10.1 for testing.
