The application is a command line task tracker. It records our tasks in a text file, displays them as a list in the terminal, and lets us mark them as done.

This programme follows the Microsoft Learning Path for Rust

1. install rust toolchain with rustup
2. cargo run to start the app

Try it out:

cargo run -- -j test-journal.json add "buy milk"
cargo run -- -j test-journal.json add "take the dog for a walk"
cargo run -- -j test-journal.json add "water the plants"
cargo run -- -j test-journal.json list
cargo run -- -j test-journal.json done 2
cargo run -- -j test-journal.json list

To compile the programme, switch to the terminal and execute the command cargo run --release.

The compiled binary (the executable) is located in the target/release/ directory and is named after the project name. If you are using macOS or Linux, it will be called rusty-journal. If you use Windows, it is called rusty-journal.exe.
