venmo/synx

A command-line tool that reorganizes your Xcode project folder to match your Xcode groups.

Xcode

Finder

Installation

$ gem install synx

Usage

Basic

⚠️ WARNING: Make sure that your project is backed up through source control before doing anything ⚠️

Execute the command on your project to have it reorganize the files on the file system:

 $ synx path/to/my/project.xcodeproj

It may have confused CocoaPods. If you use them, execute this command:

$ pod install

You're good to go!

Advanced

Synx supports the following options:

  --prune, -p                   remove source files and image resources that are not referenced by the the Xcode project
  --no-color                    removes all color from the output
  --no-default-exclusions       doesn't use the default exclusions of /Libraries, /Frameworks, and /Products
  --no-sort-by-name             disable sorting groups by name
  --quiet, -q                   silence all output
  --exclusion, -e EXCLUSION     ignore an Xcode group while syncing

For example, OCMock could have been organized using this command:

$ synx -p -e "/OCMock/Core Mocks" -e /OCMockTests Source/OCMock.xcodeproj/

if they had wanted not to sync the /OCMock/Core Mocks and /OCMockTests groups, and also remove (-p) any image/source files found by synx that weren't referenced by any groups in Xcode.
