Guide on how to use Swift Package Manager

Hi,

so I would like to write a small CLI in Swift and use the Swift Package
Manager.

However, I have a hard time finding resources that explain, which versions of
Swift support it exactly, what the init command is and where to go from there.

All I have found are these two resources:

Is there something like this:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/getting-started.html

I think this is crucial if we want to get new people to try out the open
source version of Swift because these tutorials are what people have come to
expect when approaching a new language.

If there is, I would appreciate it if we could share it and if there isn't it
would be nice if we, as a community, could create something like this, or at
least one README page that walks through the initial flow.

If someone is interested let me know and then we can try and make it work.

There has been some progress towards better documentation, but there is
still a lot to be done. Here are some current references (which might need
updates..)

Basically SwiftPM has three commands: swift build, swift package and swift
test
You can see available options on each using --help option.

$ swift package --help

To create an executable:

$ mkdir myPackage && cd myPackage
$ swift package init --type executable
$ swift build
$ .build/debug/myPackage

some JIRAs tracking this:
