Bootdev CLI

This is a command line tool for Boot.dev that allows you to submit lessons and do other such nonsense.

Installation

Make sure you have Go 1.22 or later installed on your machine. Additionally, make sure that Go's bin directory is in your PATH. (Details on adding the bin directory to your PATH can be found below)

go install github.com/bootdotdev/bootdev@latest

Make sure that it works by running:

bootdev help

Usage

• bootdev login - Login to Boot.dev. You'll need to login to Boot.dev in your browser and copy/paste a token.
• bootdev logout - Logout of Boot.dev (clears your authentication token).
• bootdev submit <id> - Submit a lesson to Boot.dev.

How to add Go's bin directory to your PATH

When you run go install, Go installs the binary into $HOME/go/bin by default. Add the bin directory to your PATH by modifying your shell's configuration file. For example, if you're using bash on Ubuntu, you can run the following command to add a line to your ~/.bashrc file:

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/go/bin' >> ~/.bashrc

Next, reload your shell configuration:

source ~/.bashrc

Now you should be able to run the bootdev command (or anything else installed with go install) from your terminal.
