“Like Ruby but with g”


Motivation

Working on a project with a huge amount of remote pods I had some troubles:
- Slow and unnecessary indexing of remote pods targets, which implementation I rarely try to edit;
- Redundant rebuild time, probably as a result of problems CocoaPods hooks or Xcode build system;
- Freezing UI during navigation.

Description

?
Rugby is CLI tool that was developed to solve the above problems:
+ Cache all remote pods dependencies and remove their targets from the Pods project;
+ Rebuild only changed remote pods;
+ Remove unnecessary sources from a project and reduce project size;
+ Drop any unneeded targets with sources and resources by RegEx.

What makes it different?

?
Not a dependency

?
Doesn’t change Podfile

?
Custom steps

?
Metrics after each command

✨
Fancy log output

Ruby alternatives:
