metuclass

metuclass is a small command-line tool for METU students. Log in once, run metuclass sync, and every file from every course you're enrolled in lands on your disk, organized by course and section, in folders that match the way ODTUClass already groups them.

Subsequent runs are incremental. metuclass keeps a local manifest (a tiny SQLite file) and only downloads what's new or updated. Files you've modified locally are protected as conflicts unless you pass --force.

The native ODTUClass interface is fine for one course. By week six of a semester it stops being fine: you're clicking through six course pages, ten weeks of slides, and three handouts each just to keep up with what was uploaded. I wanted one command that gets me from git pull-style mental model to actually having all the files.

The design priority was not surprising you. Idempotent runs, dry-run support, conflict detection on locally modified files, and predictable destination paths so you can build downstream tooling on top: Obsidian indexing, full-text search, whatever.
