Secret Santa Assigner

Reads a list of friends from the standard input (or a file) and renders to a specified output file (or "output.pdf" if not specified) all assignments of gift givers and their corresponding receivers encoded in a QR-Code (see --help for options).

Installation

To build and install you will need Haskell's Cabal, then just do:

$ cabal install

It will automatically download the dependencies, compile, and install the executable secret-santa in the Cabal bin path (most likely ~/.cabal/bin).
