Yep, I know this problem well.

What I do is use Xcode to create an app target, remove all the app-specific stuff from that, add then a `main.swift`, and add my command line code to that.  If I need to provide easy access to the ‘tool’ from Terminal, a quick alias or symlink will do the trick.

Share and Enjoy
