README
A command-line tool that reorganizes your Xcode project folder to match your Xcode groups.
Xcode
Finder
Installation
$ gem install synx
Usage
Basic
:warning: WARNING: Make sure that your project is backed up through source control before doing anything :warning:
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.
