A step-by-step walkthrough of replacing Fastlane with plain Bash shell scripts for managing a Swift package lifecycle. Covers converting Fastlane lanes into individual shell scripts for building across platforms, running tests, validating git state, bumping semantic versions, and publishing DocC documentation. Also shows how to integrate these scripts with GitHub Actions workflows for CI/CD. The result is a faster, Ruby-free automation setup that can be reused across projects.
