2016-advent-of-code

This repo contains the solutions for my path of Advent of Code 2016. I complete AoC to get familiar with a technology, its build tools and testing tools, it's kind of a mini-production type workflow I follow.

In this year I chose to use the following tools:

• Kotlin v1.9.20. Language for this year's AOC.
• Gradle v8.1.1. Build tool for Kotlin projects.
• Spotless v6.25.0. Also using the Ktlint formatting configuration v1.1.1.
• Detekt v1.23.3. Code analysis tool which is useful for finding bugs.
• Kotlin JUnit. Unit test framework with a Kotlin flavour.

All development was completed using IntelliJ which is an awesome development environment.

Setup

There is a small setup script that copies the projects pre-commit file to the hooks folder of the project's repo. This needs to be run after the project is cloned only.

$ ./gradlew initProject  

Building

$ ./gradlew build  

Testing

$ ./gradlew check  

Committing

The pre-commit hook should kick-in, when it does it will run spotless and detekt

$ git add --all
$ git commit -a
