Migrating from Git dependencies

Move existing SwiftPM dependencies from Git URLs to registry package identifiers.

1. 1Register the registry

   Point SwiftPM at the registry for your project (or globally with --global).

   bashCopy

   swift package-registry set https://registry.swiftregistry.io

2. 2Swap URLs for package identifiers

   In Package.swift, replace each Git-URL dependency with its registry identifier (scope.name) — for example github.com/acme/networkkit becomes acme.networkkit (requires swift-tools-version 5.7 or later). Also update any target .product(name:package:) references to the new identifier:

   swiftCopy

   .package(id: "acme.networkkit", from: "1.0.0")

3. 3Resolve and verify

   Resolve as usual. SwiftPM downloads immutable, checksum-verified artifacts from the registry instead of cloning Git repositories.

   bashCopy

   swift package resolve

The swiftregistry CLI (setup · doctor) generates and validates your registries.json configuration; Package.swift dependency edits stay manual.
