Generate

Project generation is the core feature of Tuist upon which all other features are built. Once the project is defined following the directory structure and manifest files, you can generate the project using the tuist generate command. This command reads the manifest files, generates the Xcode projects and workspace, writes it to the disk, and opens it in Xcode.

WORKSPACE GENERATION

Tuist always generates a workspace, even if you have a single Project.swift. This is by design to ensure that the project is always generated in a consistent way.
