secret-santa-rs

Installation

• Install cargo.
• Run cargo install secret-santa-rs.

Usage

• Create the file names.txt containing names.
  • Example file contents:

    John Smith
    Liam Anderson
    Emma Jones
    Bob
    

• Run secret-santa-rs in the directory containing the names file. The program will output a list of who buys for who. People with the same last name will not be paired with each other.
• If the program cannot find a valid pair for someone, it will output None (e.g. "Bob buys for None"). In some cases, running the program again will resolve this issue due to different randomness.
