# Tuist
## Project Generation
Generate projects without opening Xcode:
```bash
tuist generate --no-open
```
## Target Declaration
Use `buildableFolders` when declaring targets to avoid regenerating projects on file changes:
```swift
let target = Target(
name: "MyApp",
destinations: [.iPhone],
product: .app,
bundleId: "com.example.app",
buildableFolders: ["Sources/", "Resources/"]
)
```
## Building with xcodebuild
Pass these build settings to enable caching and improve build performance:
```bash
xcodebuild build \
-scheme MyScheme \
COMPILATION_CACHE_ENABLE_CACHING=YES \
CLANG_ENABLE_COMPILE_CACHE=YES \
SWIFT_ENABLE_EXPLICIT_MODULES=YES \
SWIFT_USE_INTEGRATED_DRIVER=YES
```
## Disable Signing for CI/Agent Builds
When building through an agent or CI, disable code signing:
```bash
xcodebuild build \
-scheme MyScheme \
CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY=""
```
