Task Manager CLI

A simple Command Line Interface (CLI) application for managing your tasks, built with Java and Maven.

This project is based on the Task Tracker project idea from roadmap.sh.

How to Build and Run

Since this project uses Maven, you can build and run it using the following commands:

Build the project

mvn clean compile

Run with Maven

You can also run the pre-built jar file directly from the out/artifacts/ directory:

java -jar out/artifacts/Task_manager.jar

Once the application is running, you will see a prompt:

From here, you can start entering the commands below. To exit the application, type q or ^[.
