Advent of Code

Included in this repo is a setup.sh script. To make the most of it, make sure you can open VS Code from the terminal. If you can't, you can follow the instructions here.

You can run the script with:

source setup.sh [year] [day] $(<.session.txt)

Where .session.txt is a file in this repo's root directory which contains your advent of code session cookie value.

To make this easier, I added this alias to my .zshrc.

aoc() { 
    echo "Hello... Setting up your AOC environment for $1 day $2"
    cd path/to/aoc/root
    echo "Moved to the AOC directory"
    source setup.sh $1 $2 $(<.session.txt)
    echo "Pulled the input and set up your python file"
}

So I can just open up the terminal and run

aoc [year] [day]

and it'll open up VS Code with the input file and a python template.
