# Task Tracker CLI
A command-line task tracking application built as part of my Java learning journey following the [roadmap.sh]([https://roadmap.sh](https://roadmap.sh/projects/task-tracker)) path. This project demonstrates practical implementation of modern Java features while helping others learn through real-world examples.
## About This Project
This Task Tracker is a practical exercise in building command-line applications using Java, focusing on modern language features and clean code practices. It's part of a series of projects aimed at improving Java skills through hands-on experience.
## Key Technologies & Concepts Used
- **Modern Java Features**
- Records for immutable data structures
- Stream API for data processing
- Local variable type inference (var)
- Pattern Matching (Java 17+)
- **Libraries**
- Jackson for JSON file handling
- JSON reading/writing
- Object mapping
- Data persistence
- **Project Purpose**
- Practice modern Java features
- Learn file handling and data persistence
- Implement CLI interfaces
- Apply clean code principles
## Learning Outcomes
Through this project, I practiced:
- Building interactive CLI applications
- Working with file systems using Java
- Data persistence using JSON
- Modern Java features in a real-world context
- Command pattern implementation
## Installation
Detailed instructions for installing and running the Task Tracker CLI are available in the Getting Started section below.
## Getting Started
1. Ensure you have Java 17+ installed
2. Clone the repository
3. Build the project using Maven
4. Add to your system's PATH for easy access
Example:
````shell
# 1. Create bin directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p ~/bin
# 2. Create the executable script
nano ~/bin/task-tracker
# In the script, add:
#!/bin/bash
# If your project is on Linux:
java -jar /path/to/your/project/target/task-tracker-cli-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar "$@"
# In my case, since the project is on Windows but I'm using it through WSL:
java -jar /mnt/c/Users/example/Desktop/task-tracker-cli/target/task-tracker-cli-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar "$@"
````
Important Note:
The /mnt/c/... path is specific for accessing Windows files from WSL
If your project is directly on Linux, use the standard Linux path like /home/user/projects/... or ~/projects/...
Make sure the path points to the JAR file generated in your project's target directory
````shell
# 3. Make the script executable
chmod +x ~/bin/task-tracker
# 4. Add bin to PATH in .zshrc
nano ~/.zshrc
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
# 5. Reload the configuration
source ~/.zshrc
This method allows you to have your project on Windows, compile it there, but execute it conveniently from WSL as a regular command.
