Overview

A tiny Rust CLI that bootstraps GitHub Classroom autograding for Rust projects.

🚀 Currently deployed in Boston University’s Intro to Rust course (130+ students, 1000+ student repos).

Key Features

  • ⚡ Fast setup — go from repo → Classroom-ready assignment in under 60 seconds.
  • 📝 Flexible outputs — grading tables copied to clipboard or written directly to your README.
  • 🏎️ Optimized CI — precompiled YAMLs (no runtime parsing) for faster, cheaper runs.
  • 🔧 Instructor-friendly CLI — init, build, table, reset cover the full workflow.

How it Works

  • init — scans for Rust tests and builds .autograder/autograder.json.
  • build — converts that config into a ready-to-run GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/classroom.yaml.
  • table — generates a Markdown grading table for READMEs, keeping grading criteria transparent.
  • reset — cleans up generated files for a fresh start.

Keeps autograding setup simple for instructors while making grading criteria clear for students.
