Advent of Code

This repository is a cookiecutter template but it also contains my solutions which are not included when use this template. This is thanks to the way cookiecutter works, in which the top-level directory is not included in the template.

Usage

First you need to install cookiecutter, see the installation docs for more info.

The easiest way is usually pip or pipx:

# using pip
pip install cookiecutter
# using pipx
pipx install cookiecutter

Using the template

Running the following command will create a folder named advent-<year> with a folder for each language you choose.

cookiecutter gh:jcwillox/advent-of-code

Adding more days and languages

The command above only creates 1 year, 1 language, 1 day. Naturally you might want more than that. All you need to do is run the same command again with -f -s in the same directory and it will add the additional files without overwriting your changes.

cookiecutter gh:jcwillox/advent-of-code -f -s
