Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the CLI command entry points and the existing exercise download flow, then determine how restarting should restore the exercise's current boilerplate while handling confirmation and --force. Done means the example command works for the selected exercise and track without deleting files unexpectedly.

Description
description
Add a command to "revert to exercise start".
Just like in the Web UI:
My first thought is an use like this:
exercism restart --exercise=freelancer-rates --track=javascript
Maybe ask for a confirmation before getting rid of user's files (and --force option to not ask for confirmation).
use case
I downloaded an exercise a few days ago but only worked on it today and submitted my solution.
After that I went to the Web UI and noticed the exercise was updated (the requirements/functions to be implemented were changed).
I wanted to get the default boilerplate to restart the exercise from scratch and wasn't able to get it via CLI.
(fortunately @SleeplessByte showed to me how to do it via web UI ❤️)
