Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so start by mapping how the CLI handles exercise iterations and commentary. Clarify the desired Markdown structure and where the output should be written; done means a student can generate one file containing those materials.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I am a programming newbie so maybe this request is way too complex, but I think it would complement exercism's philosophy if there was an easy way to concatenate the iterations and commentary into a file for the student's purposes. This way, if the student has been reflecting on their solutions/what they learned, they can organize all that information into a file and use it in the future as a sort of cheat sheet. Once again, I am not really familiar with how difficult it would be to implement this feature, I just know that it would be super helpful to have this kind of compendium of what the student has learned in one place.
