bakefile

This page is for contributors working inside a clone of the leetcode-py repository. If you practice with the standalone lcpy CLI in your own repo, none of this applies; see the lcpy CLI reference.

bakefile is the task runner used inside this repository (see Installation for the development setup). Its CLI is the bake command; this repo’s bakebook wraps lcpy and the other tooling so every workflow is one command. Run bake --help for the full list; these are the ones you will use.

Problem workflow

Command	What it does
`bake p-test -p <name>`	Run one problem’s test suite with verbose output
`bake p-gen -p <name>`	Regenerate one problem from its JSON template (`--force` to overwrite)
`bake p-del -p <name>`	Delete one problem directory
`bake gen-all-problems`	Delete all of `leetcode/` and regenerate every problem
`bake check-consistency`	Verify `leetcode/` matches the JSON source of truth
`bake check-test-cases -t 12`	Find problems with few test cases
`bake nb-to-py`	Convert all `.ipynb` under `leetcode/` to percent-format `.py`

bake p-test -p two_sum
bake p-gen -p two_sum --force
bake check-test-cases -t 12 -m 20   # threshold 12, show at most 20

Consistency and drift

leetcode/ is generated from the JSON templates under src/leetcode_py/cli/resources/leetcode/json/ plus a cookiecutter scaffold. bake check-consistency regenerates everything into a backup directory and compares; CI runs it on every push. When it reports drift, the fix is never to edit the generated file. Edit the problem’s JSON template, then regenerate:

bake p-gen -p two_sum --force

The full pipeline is documented in Problem Creation.

Docs and brand

Command	What it does
`bake docs`	Run the Mintlify docs dev server (port 3000)
`bake docs-check`	Check the docs site for broken links
`bake docs-catalog`	Regenerate the catalog pages under `docs/catalog/` from the JSON templates
`bake brand`	Regenerate brand assets into `docs/img/brand/`

Repo-wide tasks

Inherited from bakefile’s built-in library tasks: bake test (unit tests), bake test-all, bake lint, bake clean, bake setup-dev, bake update (upgrade dependencies), bake publish, bake version. See the bakefile docs for what the runner itself provides.
