CTFd-CLI

A Command Line Utility to perform actions with a CTFd Instance using the CTFd REST API.

---

In order to interact with the CTFd API, you need to have an API key and the IP/Hostname of the CTFd instance. These can be configured inside the .env file. For starters, you can copy the .env.example file and rename it to .env and fill in the values.
