Manage the Xcodes installed on your Mac
brew install robotsandpencils/made/xcodesThese are Developer ID-signed and notarized release builds and don't require Xcode to already be installed in order to use.
Other methods:
Download a release
Download the latest release from the Releases page. These are Developer ID-signed release builds and don't require Xcode to already be installed in order to use.
Using Mint
mint install RobotsAndPencils/xcodesBuild from source
Building from source requires Xcode 11.0 or later, so it's not an option for setting up a computer from scratch.
git clone https://github.com/RobotsAndPencils/xcodes
cd xcodes
make install
# or, if /usr/local/ isn't in your PATH
PREFIX=/your/install/directory make installWhile installing, you may get the following output:
swift build
error: terminated(72): xcrun --sdk macosx --find xctest output:
If that occurs, it means you need to select a version of Xcode. You can do this with xcode-select or by choosing a Command Line Tools option in Xcode's preferences Locations tab.
Install a specific version of Xcode using a command like one of these:
xcodes install 10.2.1
xcodes install 11 Beta 7
xcodes install 11.2 GM seed
You'll then be prompted to enter your Apple ID username and password. You can also provide these with the XCODES_USERNAME and XCODES_PASSWORD environment variables.
After successfully authenticating, xcodes will save your Apple ID password into the keychain and will remember your Apple ID for future use. If you need to use a different Apple ID than the one that's remembered, set the XCODES_USERNAME environment variable.
xcodes will download and install the version you asked for so that it's ready to use.

Notable design decisions are recorded in DECISIONS.md. The Apple authentication flow is described in Apple.paw, which will allow you to play with the API endpoints that are involved using the Paw app.
xcode-install and fastlane/spaceship both deserve credit for figuring out the hard parts of what makes this possible.
