xcode-select

Switch between different versions of Xcode and the included developer tools. Also used to update the path to Xcode if it is moved after installation.

  • Install Xcode's command-line tools:

xcode-select --install

  • Select a given path as the active developer directory:

xcode-select -s {{path/to/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer}}

  • Select a given Xcode instance and use its developer directory as the active one:

xcode-select -s {{path/to/Xcode.app}}

  • Print the currently selected developer directory:

xcode-select -p

  • Discard any user-specified developer directory so that it will be found via the default search mechanism:

sudo xcode-select -r
