exercism: Configure the application token and the preferred workspace for Exercism.
$ exercism configure --token=${your-application-token} --workspace=${-path-to-preferred-workspace}
try on your machine

This command is used to configure the Exercism CLI (Command Line Interface) tool with your application token and preferred workspace path.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • exercism configure: This is the main command that configures the Exercism CLI tool.
  • --token=${your-application-token}: This flag is used to specify your application token. The ${your-application-token} placeholder should be replaced with your actual Exercism application token. This token is provided to you when you sign up for an Exercism account and is used for authentication purposes.
  • --workspace=${-path-to-preferred-workspace}: This flag is used to specify the preferred workspace path. The ${-path-to-preferred-workspace} placeholder should be replaced with the actual path to the directory where you want to store your exercise files. The Exercism CLI will use this directory as the workspace for downloading, solving, and submitting exercises.

To use this command, you need to have the Exercism CLI tool installed on your system. By running this command and providing your application token and preferred workspace path, you can configure the tool to work with your specific settings.
