Duke Task Manager

Duke is a simple CLI task manager to help you keep track of your tasks, deadlines and events.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• JDK 11

Installing

1. Download the Duke.jar file from https://github.com/btricec/duke/releases
2. Save it in an empty folder
3. Open a command window in that folder
4. Run the command java -jar duke.jar

Usage

Features

Duke allows you to save 3 different types of task into a task list.

• todo [T] Tasks that need to be completed.
• deadline [D] Tasks that need to be completed by a certain deadline.
• event [E] Upcoming events to take note of.

You can view all your task with a simple list command. Tasks will appear as such:

1. [T][✓] English homework
2. [T][✘] German homework
3. [D][✓] Physics assignment (by: Mar 1 2020)
4. [E][✘] Mathematics quiz (at: Mar 5 2020)
5. [E][✓] Field trip to the zoo (at: Mar 1 2020)

The first bracket indicates the type of task. The second bracket indicates whether the task has been completed or not. This is followed by the task description and date in brackets (where applicable).

You can also search for tasks by date or keyword. Searching by keywords is case-insensitive!

The first time you start up Duke, a text file save.txt will be created. Your task list is automatically saved into this file every time you update your list to ensure that changes are saved even when Duke is terminated prematurely. Upon subsequent start ups, your saved date will be read from this text file so that you can continue from where you left off!
