Xcode DerivedData -> RAMDisk

Make Xcode use RAMDisk:

  • Create a new disk called RAMDisk with 2GB of disk space
    (usually pretty enough, unless you are compiling a lot of projects)
    (the number in the last piece is number of megabytes you want to use for your disk multiplied by 2048, in this case it's 2048 * 2048 = 4194304.
diskutil erasevolume HFS+ "RAMDisk" `hdiutil attach -nomount ram://4194304`
  • Goto: Xcode -> Settings -> Locations
  • Change DerivedData to use Custom in the dropdown
  • Specify /Volumes/RAMDisk
  • ???
  • Profit
