Swift Package Plugins - Getting Started

Disclaimer
This article doesn’t explain what is a Swift Package Plugin, but just provides Source Code of the demos discussed in the related WWDC videos.
I hope you will have better resources to start diving into Swift Package Plugin, next time we will understand in detail what it is, how it works & where we can use it.
Meet Swift Package plugins
In this WWDC video, @Anders Bertelrud walks us through the basics of Plugins. But, it doesn’t show the code as he used the remote Package dependencies.
I tried to search for the packages used, had some luck to find related code examples from @Anders Bertelrud’s repos. Forked them to keep a record in case upstream is deleted.
Note
These repos are not updated & might not work. But, they might be a good starting point to learn about Plugin & what it can do.
Create Swift Package plugins
In this WWDC video, @Boris Bugling actually creates the Plugins, you can find the snippets in the video link, but the complete code is not downloadable. So, I have created working swift packages for you.
