Tuist supports using `Package.swift` as a DSL for your projects and it converts
your package targets into a native Xcode project and targets.

## Using Tuist with a Swift Package {#using-tuist-with-a-swift-package}

We are going to use Tuist with the [TootSDK
Package](https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK) repository, which contains a Swift
Package. The first thing that we need to do is to clone the repository:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/TootSDK/TootSDK
cd TootSDK
```

Once in the repository's directory, we need to install the Swift Package Manager
dependencies:

```bash
tuist install
```

Under the hood `tuist install` uses the Swift Package Manager to resolve and
pull the dependencies of the package. After the resolution completes, you can
then generate the project:

```bash
tuist generate
```

Voilà! You have a native Xcode project that you can open and start working on.
