@swift-ci please test |

Would this be more natural as: swift package target add-dependency ...which could live parallel to API like: swift package target init <name> [--type <executable, target, module>]
swift package target rename <name> <new-name>
swift package target remove-dependency ... |
According to SE-0301, there was some discussion of having this "fourth level" of command when that proposal was reviewed, and we decided against it then. But maybe with us adding more of these commands now, it's worth re-opening the discussion. |
👍 That SE is so old I had entirely forgotten about it. It's probably worth revisiting the names in a future proposal. |

I put up a pitch thread at https://forums.swift.org/t/package-manifest-editing-commands-beyond-se-0301/72085 to discuss |
I reimplemented all of it almost exactly before learning about it. Whoops! |
