Hackpack

Generates a "hackpack" for competitive programmers

Disclaimer

This software is in alpha. Use with a salt of caution. Readme documentation may fall out of date with the latest releases. More error checking and logging output will be added in later releases.

Quick Start

Download the Windows executable from releases. Move this file somewhere that is seen by the PATH system variable. Then simply execute

hackpack

from the root of a project, and a .pdf will automatically be generated.

Command line arguments

The path to the settings file and the path to the output file can be changed with the flags --config and --output, respectively. Neither of these paths should include a file extension. More options can be found by hackpack --help.

hackpack --config=hackpack/config --output=hackpack/hackpack

Configuration

To see what options are available, generate a default config file with

hackpack --init

(run from the root of a project). Comments should explain each one. Not every option must be overriden; ones that are not mentioned in the .toml file are given their default values.
