This also means less Ruby-dependant in your development\n  environment and CI.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Homebrew\n\n```bash\nbrew install xcbeautify\n```\n\n### [Mint](https://github.com/yonaskolb/mint)\n\n```bash\nmint install cpisciotta/xcbeautify\n```\n\n### Build from source\n\n```bash\ngit clone https://github.com/cpisciotta/xcbeautify.git\ncd xcbeautify\nmake install\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nxcodebuild [flags] | xcbeautify\n```\n\nIf you want `xcbeautify` to exit with the same status code as `xcodebuild`\n(e.g. on a CI):\n\n```bash\nset -o pipefail \u0026\u0026 xcodebuild [flags] | xcbeautify\n```\n\nFor parallel and concurrent destination testing, it helps to use unbuffered I/O for _stdout_ and to redirect _stderr_ to _stdout_.\n\n```bash\nNSUnbufferedIO=YES xcodebuild [flags] 2\u003e\u00261 | xcbeautify\n```\n\n```bash\nswift test [flags] 2\u003e\u00261 | xcbeautify\n```\n\n### GitHub Actions\n\n| ![GitHub",
