Alcatraz

The Xcode Package Manager!

Alcatraz is an open-source package manager for Xcode 4. It lets you discover and install plugins, templates and color schemes without the need for manually cloning or copying files. It installs itself as a part of Xcode and it feels like home.

Package Manager UI

Installation

Alcatraz requires Xcode Command Line Tools, which can be installed in Xcode via Preferences > Downloads.

To install, open up your terminal and paste this:

mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins;
curl -L http://goo.gl/xfmmt | tar xv -C ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins -

or download the repository from Github and build it in Xcode. You'll need to restart Xcode after the installation.

The installation process creates ~/Library/Application\ Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/Plug-ins/Alcatraz.xcplugin, which can be deleted to uninstall the plugin completely.

Usage

Select Package Manager from the Window menu, then check or uncheck packages to install or remove them. You'll need to restart Xcode after installing plugins or templates.

Window Menu Item

I want to submit my package!

Fork and edit the Alcatraz package repository to include your package name, description, and URL in the plugins, color schemes, or templates section, and submit a pull request. Further instructions are included in the package repository documentation.

Development

Alcatraz is in early alpha, and you should forgive him for any inconvenience.
