✅ TaskCLI - Tracking tasks in your terminal

---

TaskCLI is a lightweight command-line task tracker built in C# without any third-party libraries. It helps you manage your tasks efficiently by allowing you to add, update, delete, and track their progress. All tasks are stored in a JSON file in the current directory for easy persistence.

This project is a backend programming challenge from roadmap.sh website. Here's the link to it: https://roadmap.sh/projects/task-tracker

If a task ID does not exist, an appropriate error message is shown. There is also a log file named taskcli-error-log.log that is created in the root folder (same as the cli binary).
