Why CodeHub?

Showcase Your Problem-Solving Skills

Having a GitHub repository with your Codewars solutions highlights your dedication to learning and improving as a developer. It serves as a portfolio that recruiters and hiring managers can easily review to see your coding abilities and consistency in action. 



Track Your Progress

CodeHub organizes all of your Codewars solutions in your repository by difficulty level (6-kyu, 5-kyu, etc.). Each problem is stored in its own directory containing separate solution files for each language and a README for the problem description (example). This clear structure makes it easy to track your progress and see how much you've improved over time.



Save Time

CodeHub automates the process of committing and pushing your solutions to GitHub. Once set up, this extension will save you the time and hassle of manually copying, pasting, and uploading each solution to your repository.

Acknowledgements

LeetHub

After manually pushing hundreds of my Codewars solutions to GitHub, I searched for a tool to automate the process and came across LeetHub - an extension that does this for LeetCode solutions. While LeetHub wasn’t compatible with Codewars, its core functionality and UI served as an inspiration for the development of CodeHub.

Frances Coronel

A big thank you to Frances Coronel for her README template - it was a great starting point for structuring the README for this project.
