Installation

You can download the pre-compiled binary file in here.

Then enjoy the cf-tool~

Or you can compile it from the source (go >= 1.12):

$ go get github.com/xalanq/cf-tool
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/xalanq/cf-tool
$ go build -ldflags "-s -w" cf.go

If you don't know what's the $GOPATH, please see here https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/GOPATH.

Usage

Let's simulate a competition.

cf race 1136 or cf race https://codeforces.com/contest/1136

To start competing the contest 1136!

If the contest has not started yet, cf will count down. If the contest have started or the countdown ends, cf will use the default browser to open dashboard's page and problems' page, and fetch all samples to the local.

cd ./cf/contest/1136/a (May be different from this, please notice the message on your screen)

Enter the directory of problem A, the directory should contain all samples of the problem.

cf gen

Generate a code with the default template. The filename of the code is problem id by default.

vim a.cpp

Use Vim to write the code (It depends on yourself).

cf test

Compile and test all samples.

cf submit

Submit the code.

cf list

List problems' stats of the contest.

cf stand

Open the standings' page of the contest.

You should run "cf config" to configure your handle, password and code
templates at first.

If you want to compete, the best command is "cf race".

Usage:
  cf config
  cf submit [-f <file>] [<specifier>...]
  cf list [<specifier>...]
  cf parse [<specifier>...]
  cf gen [<alias>]
  cf test [<file>]
  cf watch [all] [<specifier>...]
  cf open [<specifier>...]
  cf stand [<specifier>...]
  cf sid [<specifier>...]
  cf race [<specifier>...]
  cf pull [ac] [<specifier>...]
  cf clone [ac] [<handle>]
  cf upgrade

Options:
  -h --help            Show this screen.
  --version            Show version.
  -f <file>, --file <file>, <file>
                       Path to file. E.g. "a.cpp", "./temp/a.cpp"
  <specifier>          Any useful text. E.g.

                       "https://codeforces.com/group/Cw4JRyRGXR/contest/269760",
                       "1111A", "1111", "a", "Cw4JRyRGXR"
                       You can combine multiple specifiers to specify what you
                       want.
  <alias>              Template's alias. E.g. "cpp"

File:
  cf will save some data in some files:

  "~/.cf/config"        Configuration file, including templates, etc.
  "~/.cf/session"       Session file, including cookies, handle, password, etc.

  "~" is the home directory of current user in your system.

Template:
  You can insert some placeholders into your template code. When generate a code
  from the template, cf will replace all placeholders by following rules:

  $%U%$   Handle (e.g. xalanq)
  $%Y%$   Year   (e.g. 2019)
  $%M%$   Month  (e.g. 04)
  $%D%$   Day    (e.g. 09)
  $%h%$   Hour   (e.g. 08)
  $%m%$   Minute (e.g. 05)
  $%s%$   Second (e.g. 00)

Script in template:
  Template will run 3 scripts in sequence when you run "cf test":
    - before_script   (execute once)
    - script          (execute the number of samples times)
    - after_script    (execute once)
  You could set "before_script" or "after_script" to empty string, meaning
  not executing.
  You have to run your program in "script" with standard input/output (no
  need to redirect).

  You can insert some placeholders in your scripts. When execute a script,
  cf will replace all placeholders by following rules:

  $%path%$   Path to source file (Excluding $%full%$, e.g. "/home/xalanq/")
  $%full%$   Full name of source file (e.g. "a.cpp")
  $%file%$   Name of source file (Excluding suffix, e.g. "a")
  $%rand%$   Random string with 8 character (including "a-z" "0-9")

Template Example

The placeholders inside the template will be replaced with the corresponding content when you run cf gen.

$%U%$   Handle (e.g. xalanq)
$%Y%$   Year   (e.g. 2019)
$%M%$   Month  (e.g. 04)
$%D%$   Day    (e.g. 09)
$%h%$   Hour   (e.g. 08)
$%m%$   Minute (e.g. 05)
$%s%$   Second (e.g. 00)

FAQ

I double click the program but it doesn't work

Codeforces Tool is a command-line tool. You should run it in terminal.

I cannot use cf command

You should put the cf program to a path (e.g. /usr/bin/ in Linux) which has been added to system environment variable PATH.

Or just google "how to add a path to system environment variable PATH".

How to add a new testcase

Create two extra testcase files inK.txt and ansK.txt (K is a string with 0~9).

Enable tab completion in terminal

Use this Infinidat/infi.docopt_completion.

Note: If there is a new version released (especially a new command added), you should run docopt-completion cf again.
