I started using new Xcode 11 which integrates SPM.
I added first dependency to my project:
but detected that files are not fetched into my project folder but into Xcode's cache:
I would like to commit all my dependencies files into my main project repository so my question is:
Is it possible to change location of fetched packages via SPM using Xcode 11?

Open your Xcode project, navigate the File tab within the macOS bar, and click on “Add Packages”. In the Add New Package window, you can select from recently used or Apple Swift Packages. Alternatively, you can search for a package via the name or the URL to the Github page.
In order to cache the dependencies, they should be located in the project directory, but by default, SPM downloads the dependencies into the system folder: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData.
Also known as SwiftPM or SPM, it's been included in Swift since version 3.0. From the official repository: The Swift Package Manager is a tool for managing distribution of source code, aimed at making it easy to share your code and reuse others' code.
To add a package dependency to your Xcode project, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency and enter its repository URL.
It's somewhat possible, although the solution isn't necessarily a good or great practice, so I can't recommend.
Obviously, this is fragile largely through fighting the way SPM works. The workspace settings are per person so it's not great in teams.

SwiftPM integration has been setup to prevent this. It clones the files into a DerivedData/ProjectName-[RandomStuff]. You should commit your Package.resolved into the repo to ensure that you get the same version of each dependency across clones of the project.
