Solving the Daily Puzzle

The following steps will guide you through solving the daily Advent of Code puzzles. You must follow each and every step exactly to ensure a successful completion. If you miss any step, you will fail the task. It is crucial to succeed, so pay close attention to the instructions and follow them exactly.

Create to-do items for each step below. Failure to follow these steps exactly means you fail the task:

• Ensure you are on a git branch for that specific day (e.g., day05 for day 5). Create it if necessary.
• Create the directory for that day's puzzle if it doesn't already exist, following the naming convention dayXX where XX is the zero-padded day number (e.g., day05 for day 5).
• Inside that directory, create an empty file named puzzle-partY.txt where Y is the part number (1 or 2). Ask the user to provide the puzzle description by either providing it to you or pasting it directly into the file.
• Create another file named input.txt in the same directory and populate it with the provided input data in the same manner as above. Note that this file remains the same for both parts of the puzzle, so if it already exists, do not overwrite it.
