All the operation are centralized by adventofcode.py script.

usage: adventofcode.py [-h] {common,init,build,run,all} ...

Advent of Code utility application

positional arguments:
  {common,init,build,run,all}
    common              run tests for common lib
    init                init the current day directory
    build               just build the current day
    run                 run the current day
    all                 run all the day of a year

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

You can print this help message with the command adventofcode.py -h.

Generate a day

usage: adventofcode.py init [-h] [-o] YEAR DAY

positional arguments:
  YEAR             current year of the AoC, is a directory name
  DAY              current day of the AoC, is a directory name, subdirectory of YEAR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  -o, --overwrite  if files already exists, overwrite them

With this code python3 adventofcode.py init 2021 day01 you can generate the 2021/day01 directory and init it from the template.

How to run test and code

usage: adventofcode.py run [-h] [-t] [-e] YEAR DAY

positional arguments:
  YEAR          current year of the AoC, is a directory name
  DAY           current day of the AoC, is a directory name, subdirectory of YEAR

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -t, --test    run the tests of the current day
  -e, --timing  print execution time of the current day

You can run test with -t flag: python3 adventofcode.py run -t 2021 day01. This command run the solution too. With -e flag it enable the timing and print time elapsed.

Is possible to build witout run the code with the command adventofcode.py build 2021 day01. Use the same flags of the run command.
