You should have a C compiler available for building the code.

$ gcc todo.c -o todo.out
On *nix:
./todo.sh
Run the following command in your shell:
$ ln -s todo.sh todo
Manually create todo.txt
and done.txt
-
The app can be run in the console with
./todo

The app will read from and write to a
todo.txt
text file. Each todo item occupies a single line in this file. Here is an example file that has 2 todo items.
water the plants
change light bulb
-
When a todo item is completed, it will be removed from
todo.txt
and instead added to thedone.txt
text file. This file has a different format:x the text contents of the todo item
- format the letter x
- the original text
Executing the command without any arguments, or with a single argument help
prints the CLI usage.
$ ./todo help
Usage :-
$ ./todo add "todo item" # Add a new todo
$ ./todo ls # Show remaining todos
$ ./todo del NUMBER # Delete a todo
$ ./todo done NUMBER # Complete a todo
$ ./todo help # Show usage
$ ./todo report # Statistics
Use the ls
command to see all the todos that are not yet complete.
$ ./todo ls

Use the del
command to remove a todo item by its number.
$ ./todo del 3

Error: todo #5 does not exist. Nothing deleted.
Use the done
command to mark a todo item as completed by its number.
$ ./todo done 1

Attempting to mark a non-existed todo item as completed will display an error message.
$ ./todo done 5

Use the report
command to see the latest tally of pending and completed todos.
$ ./todo report
