Updates

eatlocal 1.0.0+ has been updated to work with version 2.0 of the PyBites platform.

Breaking Changes

Version 1.1.1

• Moved the local bites database to a new location. It used to be in the directory set by the user, now eatlocal will look for it in ~/.eatlocal. Run eatlocal init to set the new location.

Version 1.1.0

• Uses the bite slug for the name of the directory.

Version 1.0.0

• eatlocal version 1.0.0 only works on the new platform (v2).
• eatlocal directory no longer has to be a git repository.
• Submitting a bite no longer pushes it to GitHub.
• Bite directories are now names by the bites instead of the number.
• No need to download chrome and chrome driver.
• No more verbose mode

Setup

Run eatlocal init to configure your PyBites username, PyBites password*, and local where you will solve your bites.

*Note: If you signed up for PyBites by authenticating through GitHub or Google, you will need to set a password on the platform first.

Usage

Set up your email, password, and directory where you will solve your bites. It will also create the local bites database, and the cache database:

eatlocal init

Download bites:

eatlocal download

If you want to force a re-download of a given bite use the --force flag. This will overwrite the bite directory.

eatlocal download --force

By default, eatlocal will cache the bites list and update it every 30 days. If you are not seeing a new bite, then you can clear the cache with the --clear-cache flag.

eatlocal download --clear-cache

Display bites in the terminal:

# change the theme with -t <theme name>
eatlocal display

Submit bites:
