This repo includes a base structure for an iOS project.

rbenv is used to manage the Ruby version and bundler is used to manage all gem versions at the local level of the project.
A gem that we use in many projects is cocoapods.
There will be a conflict between team members if the version of cocoapods is not controlled.
So, we have some Ruby-related files here:
.ruby-version
Gemfile
Gemfile.lock
Open Mintfile, there are two libraries which use in this project:
yonaskolb/XcodeGen
SwiftGen/SwiftGen
XcodeGen is used to generate .xcodeproj file based on what we describe in project.yml file. So we can add .xcodeproj into .gitignore.
It can reduce huge conflicts in .xcodeproj file when each member adds folders, and files to the project.
Especially when we start a new project which has many team members.
SwiftGen is used to generate structured data for accessing all resources (strings, images, colors) in source code. It can help us reduce the time to repeat defining resources, unify the convention, and avoid typo mistakes.
Cocoapods libraries in the project, some needed and popular libs already are added.
The template for creating the VIPER module for screens is put on the repo, too. You can copy it to:
/Users/huypham/Library/Developer/Xcode/Templates
to start using. You may need to create the Templates folder if it doesn’t exist.
This project uses Makefile to easily set up environments and quickly call some kind of commands if needed.
