python3 fetch-edstem.py <course_id> [output_dir] [--course-name "Course Name"]

Examples:

# Fetch to default directory (./edstem-<course_id>)
python3 fetch-edstem.py 92041

# Fetch to specific directory
python3 fetch-edstem.py 92041 ./machine-learning

# Specify course name for clearer output
python3 fetch-edstem.py 92041 --course-name "Machine Learning"

# Combine directory and course name
python3 fetch-edstem.py 92041 ./ml-course --course-name "Machine Learning"

# Fetch more threads (default is 10)
python3 fetch-edstem.py 92041 --limit 25
