todo_cli

A starter command-line to-do list used in Lab 9 to learn Git.

Overview

This is a simple terminal-based TODO manager. Tasks are stored in a "todos.txt" file in the same folder and each task has:

• done/undone status
• an owner (e.g. Loukas, Rana, George)
• a text description

You can use it to keep track of tasks for your CSEN100 group project.

How to run

1. Make sure you have Python 3 installed.
2. From the "todo_cli" folder, run:

->python3 todo.py

3. You will see the current tasks and a menu of options.

Features

When you run the app, you will see a menu like:

• "1) Add task"
• "2) Mark task as done"
• "3) Delete task"
• "4) List tasks for specific owner"
• "5) Show summary by owner"
• "q) Quit"

Add task

• Choose option "1".
• Enter the owner (e.g. "Loukas", "Rana", "George").
• Enter the task description.
• The app will:
  • Save the task with status “not done”.
  • Print "Added: … (owner: …)".
  • Print "Total todos: X" with the updated count.

If you leave the task description empty and just press Enter, the app prints:

"Nothing to add"

and does not save anything.

Mark task as done

• Choose option "2".
• Enter the task number shown in the list.
• The app updates the task to done and prints a confirmation.

Delete task

• Choose option "3".
• Enter the task number.
• The app removes the task from the file.

List tasks for specific owner

• Choose option "4".
• Enter an owner name (e.g. "Loukas").
• The app prints only the tasks assigned to that owner, with their indices and done/undone status.

Summary by owner

• Choose option "5".

• The app prints, for each owner:

  OwnerName: done/total done

This lets you quickly see who has completed how many tasks.

Data format

Tasks are stored in "todos.txt" in a simple tab-separated format:

statusownertext

• "status" is "1" for done, "0" for not done.
• "owner" is the string you entered (or "Unassigned").
• "text" is the task description.

Older formats (without owner or status) are still supported and will be treated as "Unassigned" not-done tasks.

Git and .gitignore

In this lab setup, "todos.txt" should not be committed to Git, because it is user-specific data. Only the source files ("todo.py", "README.md", etc.) are tracked in version control.
