This repository contains a simple project where I crated a To-Do List program using C++.
Most of the code was developed taking this video from SavvyNik as reference.
This simple To-do List allows us to add, remove and keep track of a list of items. Also, it counts with a multi-account feature where depending of which account name is provided at the start of the program, it will show only it's specific saved items.
According to Microsoft Documentation, a MakeFile is a text file that contains instructions for how to compile and link (or build) a set of source code files. A program (often called a make program) reads the makefile and invokes a compiler, linker, and possibly other programs to make an executable file.
For this project, I created the makefile using the "C/C++ Makefile Project" extension available at Visual Studio Code Extensions.
After creating the Makefile using this extension, it is needed to customize some settings such as the appname and the source directory SRCDIR:
# Makefile settings - Can be customized.
APPNAME = ToDoList
EXT = .cpp
SRCDIR = /home/lucas/Documents/ToDoList
OBJDIR = obj
Afterwards, when you open a terminal, navigate to the directory informed in SRCDIR and execute a simple make command, it will automatically compile any object that it finds in the directory and Voilà! An "app" called ToDoList was created and to run it you just have to type "./ToDoList" in the terminal.
