Session Cookie

Fetch your AoC Session Cookie and set it up as an environment variable by either:

• putting it a .env file in the repo's root dir as AOC_SESSION=...
• export in your shell ('s startup file) as export AOC_SESSION=....
• Or some other way according to Session Cookie Expired?

Solve a Puzzle

and now solve today's puzzle or a specific one:

bin/solve_day.sh           # Solve today's puzzle with default language (ruby)
bin/solve_day.sh 19/5      # 2019 day 5
bin/solve_day.sh -l py     # Solve with language, here Python

To fetch input for an already solved problem:

bin/fetch_input.sh yy/mm

Tip

The default language can be set with an envvar, e.g., with dotenv in a .env fil,e which is also read by bin/solve_day.sh:

echo AOC_LANG=py >> .env

Session Cookie Expired?

Update AOC_SESSION in:

• The .env file for local development.
• Codespaces secrets for GitHub Codespaces development.
• Action Secret for .github/workflows/readme-stars.yml.
• Vercel Envvar for erikw/adventofcode-badge.
  • Then redeploy to restart the service.
  • In the lined repo clone:

    vercel env update -y AOC_SESSION && vercel deploy --prod
