AoC compliance and usage of this template

This repository does follow the automation guidelines on the /r/adventofcode community wiki. Specifically:

• No automation is provided
• Outbound calls to the /events endpoint are cached for 24h (see app/Console/UpdateBadgesCommand.php)
• Once inputs are downloaded, they are cached locally indefinitly (see app/Console/PrepareCommand)
• If you suspect your input is corrupted, you can run the command again to regenerate from cache. Manual deletion of cache files is required to enable a fresh download.

The User-Agent header is set to information you need to provide in your .env. It must be set to the owner of the end-repository (not the template repository owner).

This template repository is provided as-is, as detailed in the LICENSE file.

By using this template repository, you become the one and only maintainer of your new repository.

By using this template repository, you take responsability over your usage of the provided scripts. The original author designed them to be executed 25 times a year, no more.

Although a Laravel application, this code is not fit to be hosted. Specifically, the code as-is is not fit for any kind of automation or production environments.
