Configuration

Initial Setup

The CLI requires your LeetCode authentication cookies.

1. Login to leetcode.com.
2. Open Browser DevTools (F12) -> Application -> Cookies.
3. Find LEETCODE_SESSION and csrftoken.
4. Run:

   leetcode login
   

5. Paste the values.

Config Command

Use leetcode config to view or modify settings.

# View config
leetcode config

# Set Python as default language
leetcode config -l python3

# Set default work directory
leetcode config -w ~/Development/my-leetcode

# Set Git repository
leetcode config -r https://github.com/myuser/leetcode-solutions.git

Settings

Config is stored per-workspace in ~/.leetcode/workspaces/<name>/config.json.

Key	Description
lang	Default language extension (java, python3, cpp, etc)
editor	Command to open files (code, vim, nano)
workDir	Directory where solution files are saved
syncRepo	Remote Git repository URL

Workspace-Aware Storage

Settings are now stored per-workspace for isolation:

Data	Storage Location	Scope
Config	~/.leetcode/workspaces/<name>/config.json	Per-workspace
Timer	~/.leetcode/workspaces/<name>/timer.json	Per-workspace
Collab	~/.leetcode/workspaces/<name>/collab.json	Per-workspace
Snapshots	~/.leetcode/workspaces/<name>/snapshots/	Per-workspace
Credentials	~/.leetcode/credentials.json	Shared
Bookmarks	~/.leetcode/bookmarks.json	Shared

Use leetcode workspace current to see which workspace is active.

TUI Configuration

You can also manage workspace settings from TUI:

1. Run leetcode to open TUI.
2. Open Workspace (w) to switch/edit workspace-specific properties.
3. Open Config (c) to edit active workspace defaults.

Both screens use buffered editing (Enter to save, Esc to cancel).
