aoc-cli

This project was built to make it easy to grab the AOC prompt and input file. It was also built to make it easy to setup your projects for the AOC. I wanted an easy way to switch the language I was using during AOC that would set up some base files that includes tests.

Features

• Download Advent of Code prompt into a markdown file.
• Download the input file for any given day.
• Structures your Advent of Code solutions.
• System to setup projects for different languages.

Current Languages Supported

If there is a language that is not supported that you would like to exist, please create a issue!

Session cookie

Every user of Advent of Code gets different puzzle input files. That is why the session cookie is needed. This is to ensure you get the input file that belongs to you. There are many ways to get your session cookie. The best way is to Google how to get it based on watch browser you are using because the method may vary.

Puzzle Project Structure

This cli will setup a specific folder structure for Advent of Code. Currently there is no way to change this structure. This is what it looks like:

2015/
|___1/
|___2/
|___3/
|   |___go/
|       |   main.go
|       |   test.go
