swift: Compile project for release.
$ swift build -c release
try on your machine
The command "swift build -c release" is used to build a Swift package in release mode, optimizing it for performance.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "swift build": This is the main command used to build Swift packages. It compiles all the source code and dependencies of the package.
- "-c release": This is an option that specifies the build configuration. In this case, "release" is specified, indicating that the build should be optimized for release or production use. The release configuration typically enables compiler optimizations and strips out debugging symbols, resulting in a smaller and faster binary.
When you execute this command in your terminal, it will locate the Swift package in the current directory and initiate the build process. The resulting binary will be optimized for release, making it suitable for deploying the package in a production environment.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
