Using the structure for yourself

The structure is generic enough, but built for macOS (although that specific logic can easily be exchanged).

1. Copy the scripts directory and Makefile to a separate directory.
2. To login using a session cookie from the Advent of Code website, run make login
3. To initialize today's puzzle run make init
   • To initialize a specific puzzle, run AOC_YEAR=2020 AOC_MONTH=12 AOC_DAY=24 make init
4. To run today's puzzle run make run
   • To run a specific puzzle, run AOC_YEAR=2020 AOC_MONTH=12 AOC_DAY=24 make run

An example using multiple languages can be found in 2020/1.
