Some of the AoC challanges written in Bash and Linux utilities

Advent of Code 2023 using Bash

This repository contains my solutions for the Advent of Code 2023 challenges, implemented in Bash. More specifically, using Bash and unix utilities.

Directory Structure

Each day's solutions are organized into separate directories.

/Day-XX
├── input.txt
├── part-1.sh
└── part-2.sh

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/Sekky61/aoc-bash.git
cd aoc-bash

2. Navigate to the specific day's directory (a needed step):

cd Day-01

3. Run the solution scripts:

bash part-1.sh
bash part-2.sh

Automated Day Setup

1. Create the file cookies.txt in the root directory and paste your session cookie from the AoC website into it.

2. Run the script with the desired day number:

./create.sh <day_number>

3. The script creates a directory (Day-<day_number>), an empty input.txt file, and populates part-1.sh and part-2.sh with templates.

4. Navigate to the day's directory and start solving the challenges!
