# Creating a bot using an Xcode Project

## Prerequisites

* Latest version of Xcode (`14.1` as of writing)

## Creating a Swift CLI App Project

1. Open Xcode. You'll be greeted with the following window if no project was open the last time Xcode was closed.

2. Click on the **Create a new Xcode project** action
3. In the window that appears, double-click on the **Command Line Tool** template under the **macOS** tab

4. Choose a name for your project, and click **Next**\
   \&#xNAN;*I'd recommend choosing a name following the UpperCamelCase convention*

5. Choose a place to store your project, preferably in a folder dedicated to Xcode projects, and check the **Create Git repository on my Mac** option if you'd like to place your project under source control
6. Finally, press the **Create** button, and your newly-created Xcode project should open in a few moments!&#x20;

## Follow Along

Want to see how your project should look after each page? I've created a GitHub repository containing an Xcode project that I made following these instructions. Below each page is a link to a specific branch in the repository, containing a snapshot of how my files looked after each step.

Well, the project was literally empty after this step so a branch was kinda redundant

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://swiftcord.gitbook.io/discordkit-guide/getting-started/creating-a-project/creating-a-bot-using-an-xcode-project.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
