Swift Packages Repository

Swift Packages Repository

Publish Swift packages for your user or organization.

Requirements

To work with the Swift package registry, you need to use swift to consume and a HTTP client (like curl) to publish packages.

Configuring the package registry

To register the package registry and provide credentials, execute:

swift package-registry set https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/swift -login {username} -password {password}

Placeholder	Description
owner	The owner of the package.
username	Your Forgejo username.
password	Your Forgejo password. If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.

The login is optional and only needed if the package registry is private.

Publish a package

First you have to pack the contents of your package:

swift package archive-source

To publish the package perform a HTTP PUT request with the package content in the request body.

curl -X PUT --user {username}:{password} \
	 -H "Accept: application/vnd.swift.registry.v1+json" \
	 -F source-archive=@/path/to/package.zip \
	 -F metadata={metadata} \
	 https://forgejo.example.com/api/packages/{owner}/swift/{scope}/{name}/{version}

Placeholder	Description
username	Your Forgejo username.
password	Your Forgejo password. If you are using 2FA or OAuth use a personal access token instead of the password.
owner	The owner of the package.
scope	The package scope.
name	The package name.
version	The package version.
metadata	(Optional) The metadata of the package. JSON encoded subset of https://schema.org/SoftwareSourceCode

You cannot publish a package if a package of the same name and version already exists. You must delete the existing package first.

Install a package

To install a Swift package from the package registry, add it in the Package.swift file dependencies list:

dependencies: [
	.package(id: "{scope}.{name}", from:"{version}")
]

Parameter	Description
scope	The package scope.
name	The package name.
version	The package version.

Afterwards execute the following command to install it:

swift package resolve
