Command line interface for CodeRoad.
Use CodeRoad CLI to set up and build a tutorial configuration file.

coderoad build
Defaults assume:
- a
TUTORIAL.md
markdown file (change with--markdown OTHER.md
) - a
coderoad.yaml
file (change with--yaml other.yaml
) - an output file of
tutorial.json
(change with--output other.json
)
The configuration file is created by matching the level
and step
ids between the TUTORIAL.md
and coderoad.yaml
files against git commit messages with the same ids. For example:
TUTORIAL.md
# Tutorial Title
Tutorial description.
## 1. This is a level with id = 1
This level has two steps...
### 1.1 First step
The first step with id L1S1. The Step id should start with the level id.
#### HINTS
- The first hint available when a user requests a hint
- The second hint that will show
- The third and final hint, as it is last in order
### 1.2 The second step
The second step...
