About:
Xcinfo is a command-line utility that queries the official Apple developer APIs to list all available Xcode versions, including beta and legacy releases. It provides detailed metadata for each version and allows users to download and install them directly, streamlining the management of multiple Xcode installations.

Key Features:

Lists all available Xcode versions including betas and GM seeds
Fetches detailed release notes and compatibility information
Streamlines downloading and installing Xcode directly from the terminal
Supports filtering and searching for specific Xcode releases

Use Cases:

Managing multiple Xcode versions for testing across different iOS/macOS SDKs
Quickly downloading specific Xcode beta versions for new feature testing
Automating Xcode installation in CI/CD environments

Alternatives:

xcode-install – A more established Ruby-based tool with similar functionality, often used in Fastlane environments.
Homebrew Cask – Simpler for installing the latest stable release but lacks granular control over beta and legacy versions.
