How to change the header comment for swift file

Question

Custom the header comment for every project.

I created a plist file called IDETemplateMacros.plist and it's custom the header comment for all project but I need custom header for specific project, not for all the project and revert the custom text macro to default.

I deleted the IDETemplateMacros.plist but it doesn't revert the text macro to default.

I expect the default text macro.

You can override the text macros globally, or for an individual workspace or project. You can also decide to keep the macros for a single user or share it for all users.

The full list of locations that Xcode searches, in order of priority:

• Project - single user
• .xcodeproj/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/
• Project - shared by all users
• .xcodeproj/xcshareddata/
• Workspace - single user
• .xcworkspace/xcuserdata/[username].xcuserdatad/
• Workspace - shared by all users
• .xcworkspace/xcshareddata/
• Globally for Xcode
• ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/

In case you can't find the template file, you can make one with the name IDETemplateMacros.plist and this default content using textMacros:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>FILEHEADER</key>
    <string>

</string>
    <key>FULLUSERNAME</key>
    <string>ENTER-YOUR-NAME-HERE</string>
</dict>
</plist>
