Examples
Check out this repository for a few example Swift scripts that you can run using Marathon.
Using a Marathonfile
To easily be able to define depenencies for a script in a declarative way, you can create a Marathonfile in the same folder as your script. This file is simply a new line separated list of URLs pointing
to packages that should be installed before running the script. By doing this you can ensure that the required dependencies will be installed when sharing your script with team members, friends or the wider community.
Here is an example of a Marathonfile:
git@github.com:JohnSundell/Files.git
git@github.com:JohnSundell/Unbox.git
git@github.com:JohnSundell/Wrap.git
