 ::: tip
 If you'd like to contribute a new backend to mise, they're not difficult to write.

+
+You may install executables managed by [Swift Package Manager](https://www.swift.org/documentation/package-manager) directly from Github releases.
+
+The code for this is inside of the mise repository at [`./src/backend/spm.rs`](https://github.com/jdx/mise/blob/main/src/backend/spm.rs).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+This relies on having `swift` installed. You can install it according to the [instructions](https://www.swift.org/install).
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> If you have Xcode installed and selected in your system via `xcode-select`, Swift is already available through the toolchain embedded in the Xcode installation.
+
+## Usage
+
+The following installs the latest version of `tuist`
+and sets it as the active version on PATH:
+
+```sh
+$ mise use -g spm:tuist/tuist
+$ tuist --help
+OVERVIEW: Generate, build and test your Xcode projects.
+
+USAGE: tuist <subcommand>
+...
+```
+
+The version will be set in `~/.config/mise/config.toml` with the following format:
+
+```toml
+[tools]
+"spm:tuist/tuist" = "latest"
+```
+
+### Supported Syntax
+
+| Description                                   | Usage                                                     |
+| --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Github shorthand for latest release version   | `spm:tuist/tuist`                                         |
+| Github shorthand for specific release version | `spm:tuist/tuist@4.15.0`                                  |
+| Github url for latest release version         | `spm:https://github.com/tuist/tuist.git`                  |
+| Github url for specific release version       | `spm:https://github.com/tuist/tuist.git@4.15.0`           |
+
+Other syntax may work but is unsupported and untested.
