@jasonkuhrt I just cloned the project, added a console in the index.ts, and it works for me

❯ yarn ts-node src/index
hello

[jasonkuhrt]

@Jolg42 are you sure you were on this branch?

[jasonkuhrt]

@Jolg42 also where is hello coming from? It's not in the codebase... 🤔

[Jolg42]

@jasonkuhrt Ok I was probably not on the branch, now I get

}

[Jolg42]

But in index.ts replacing the tilde by a period works

- export * from '~/lib/utils'
+ export * from './lib/utils'

And you can then delete the .swcrc file

[jasonkuhrt]

@Jolg42 that works because its no longer using path aliases. The goal is to have path aliases working.
