Besides using the guide to input information, SwiftPlate also supports command line arguments when launched. When a certain piece of information is supplied through an argument, SwiftPlate won't ask for that information when run. These are the arguments currently supported:

| Name | Description | Long parameter | Short parameter | | ---- | ----------- | -------------- | --------------- | | Destination | Where the generated project should be saved | --destination | -d | | Project name | The name of your project | --project | -p | | Author name | Your name | --name | -n | | Author email | Your email (for Podspec) | --email | -e | | GitHub URL | Any URL you'll be hosting the project at (for Podspec) | --url | -u | | Organization name | The name of your organization | --organization | -o | | Repo | Any custom SwiftPlate repository that should be used for templates | --repo | -r | | Force | Prevent user prompt at the end (for CIs etc.) | --force | -f |
