# submissionsync

Create shortcuts to the latest submitted assignment versions from a hierarchical student work directory structure.

## Overview

`submissionsync` automates the organization of student submissions by creating shortcuts to only the latest version of each assignment. Perfect for managing large volumes of student work organized in the nested directories produced by "MS Teams Assignments".

## Features

- 🔗 Automatic shortcut creation to latest submission versions
- 📁 Intelligent filtering of Student Work directories
- ⚡ Modification time caching for performance
- 🔄 Force rebuild option for rechecking all submissions
- 🐛 Debug mode for troubleshooting
- 📊 Optional directory tree visualization
- 🖥️ Cross-platform Python module (shortcuts on Windows)

## Installation

```bash
pip install submissionsync
```

```bash
submissionsync
```
