# Challenges
The `seed` directory contains all the challenges that appear on the freeCodeCamp learning platform.
For each challenge section, there is a JSON file (fields documented below) containing its name, seed HTML, tests, and so on.
## Usage
|command|description|
|---|---|
| `npm run test-challenges` | run all challenge tests (for each challenge JSON file, run all `tests` against all `solutions`) |
| `npm run test` | run all JS tests in the system, including client, server, lint and challenge tests |
| `node seed` | parses all the challenge JSON files and saves them into MongoDB (code is inside [index.js](index.js)) |
| `npm run commit` | interactive tool to help you build a good commit message |
