Info
WWDCHelper is a command line tool on macOS for you to get WWDC info easily. Now you can get download links of SD/HD video & PDF, and download subtitles in English or Simplified Chinese directly by it.
You can also download subtitles at the releases page.
Notice:
Although I have written in Swift for years, I still have a lot to learn about Swift. And to be honest, CLI (Command Line Interface) is not familiar for me. So this program is not perfect, even a little wired. So you can issue me if you have any questions, advices or find some bugs . I will be very appreciated for your help.
