Currently the only way to provide a token is via the CLI arg --token. This is not ideal because the token will be saved to the shell history, which makes it easier to steal and easier to leak.

Instead this PR provides an implementation where the user can run the command exercism configure without providing a token and then the user will be asked to provide the token via a stdin input.

This token has been reset.

Also thank you for making exercism, it is my go to spot for learning new languages.

Hello. Thanks for opening a PR on Exercism 🙂

We ask that all changes to Exercism are discussed on our Community Forum before being opened on GitHub. To enforce this, we automatically close all PRs that are submitted. That doesn't mean your PR is rejected but that we want the initial discussion about it to happen on our forum where a wide range of key contributors across the Exercism ecosystem can weigh in.

You can use this link to copy this into a new topic on the forum. If we decide the PR is appropriate, we'll reopen it and continue with it, so please don't delete your local branch.

If you're interested in learning more about this auto-responder, please read this blog post.


Note: If this PR has been pre-approved, please link back to this PR on the forum thread and a maintainer or staff member will reopen it.
