XcodeTargetGraphGen is a Swift command-line tool that interprets .xcodeproj files to create a visual depiction of module-level internal dependencies using Mermaid diagram syntax. By supporting multiple package managers, it enables users to visually map out the structure and dependencies of Xcode projects across various environments, providing a clear and comprehensible graphical representation of these relationships.
The supported package managers are as follows:
- Swift Package Manager
- Carthage
- CocoaPods (only supports the old format that does not use .xcfilelist)
