A simple Command Line Interface (CLI) tool to manage and track tasks. This project allows you to add, update, delete tasks, and mark tasks as in-progress or done. Tasks are stored in a JSON file and can be listed based on their status.

Features

• Add new tasks
• Update existing tasks
• Delete tasks
• Mark tasks as "in-progress" or "done"
• List tasks based on their status
• All tasks are stored in a tasks.json file

Requirements

• Node.js installed on your machine

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/task-tracker-cli.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd task-tracker-cli

3. Install dependencies (if any) — currently, there are no external dependencies, so this step is not necessary unless you add some in the future.

4. Run the CLI commands:

   node task-cli.js <command> <arguments>

Commands

Add a Task

To add a new task, use the add command followed by the task description.

   node task-cli.js add "Buy groceries"

Update a Task

To update a task description, use the update command followed by the task ID and the new description.

   node task-cli.js update 1 "Finish project and submit"

Delete a Task

To delete a task, use the delete command followed by the task ID.

   node task-cli.js delete 1

Mark a Task as In-Progress

To mark a task as in-progress, use the mark-in-progress command followed by the task ID.

   node task-cli.js mark-in-progress 1

Mark a Task as Done

To mark a task as done, use the mark-done command followed by the task ID.

   node task-cli.js mark-done 1

List Tasks

To list all tasks, use the list command.

   node task-cli.js list

To list tasks by their status (todo, in-progress, or done), pass the status as an argument.

   node task-cli.js list todo

JSON File

All tasks are stored in a JSON file named tasks.json in the project directory. The file is automatically created if it doesn't exist. Each task has the following properties:

• id: A unique identifier for the task
• description: The task description
• status: The current status of the task (todo, in-progress, or done)
• createdAt: The date and time when the task was created
• updatedAt: The date and time when the task was last updated
