Description

Task Tracker CLI is a lightweight command-line application that helps you keep track of what you need to do, what you're currently working on, and what you've completed.
It is designed as a practice project to strengthen skills in file handling, command-line interfaces, and basic application structure without using external libraries.

The application accepts commands through positional arguments and stores all tasks in a JSON file in the current directory.
