## Installation

Install with go >= 1.17

```bash

go install github.com/al-ce/aocgofetch@latest

```

Or clone this repository and build with `go build -o `.

This project uses [joho/gotodenv](https://github.com/joho/godotenv) as a dependency.

## Usage

### Authenticate

Authenticate yourself at `adventofcode.com` and get the value for the `session` cookie from your browser.

- Firefox: `Developer Tools > Storage > Cookies`

- Chrome: `Developer Tools > Application > Cookies`

Add that value to an `AOC_SESSION` key to a `.env` file at the root of your working directory, like your directory where you're writing your puzzle-solvers.

```bash

AOC_SESSION="yourCookieValue"

```

### Check your `.gitignore`

***WARNING:*** make sure you add the `.env` to your `.gitignore` if you're backing up your files to a remote repository!

***Reminder:*** please respect the author and do not include the puzzle text or the puzzle input in your repository.

### Run the program

Give the year (2015-present) and day (1-25) as arguments.

The puzzle input will print to `stdout`:

```bash

❯ aocgofetch 2015 4

ckczppom

```
