Swift Setup

This repository describes how you can set up a development environment for the Swift programming language.

Our goal is to support the adoption of Swift as a general purpose cross-platform programming language in education. To that end, we provide student-friendly instructions for various platforms, editors, and IDEs that support Swift.

If you’re interested in learning Swift, please see our Programming with Swift: Fundamentals course, for which this repository is a supporting resource.
