Motivation

Working on a project with a huge amount of pods I had some troubles:
- Slow and unnecessary indexing of 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.

You can read ? full story on my blog.

Description

? Rugby is CLI tool that was developed to solve the above problems:
+ Cache all pods dependencies and remove their targets from the Pods project;
+ Rebuild only changed 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, just an optional step
? Doesn’t change Podfile and Podfile.lock
? Custom steps
? Metrics after each command
✨ Fancy log output
? Swiftish!

Ruby alternatives:
- PodBuilder
- CocoaPods Binary Cache
- CocoaPods Binary
