Fun to-do list application with data persistence built using only shell scripts

todo.sh

Get sh*t done now, organize later!

How to use this repo

1. Clone the repo $ git clone [email protected]:matthewfollegot/todo.sh.git and cd into the project $ cd todo.sh/
2. Ensure you have Bash > 4.0 installed, see here for more details
3. Have fun with the todo list by running ./add.sh <item-to-add> to add an item, ./remove.sh <item-to-remove> to remove an item, ./todo.sh to print the contents of the todo list and ./clear.sh to clear the todo list

Upgrading Bash

1. Open up a terminal and check your current version of Bash $ bash --version or $ echo ${BASH_VERSION}. If it's > 4.0, you don't need to proceed with installing a newer version of Bash
2. brew install bash
3. To verify the installation, $ which -a bash should give:

       /usr/local/bin/bash
       bin/bash
   

   where /usr/local/bin/bash is the new version that's been installed
4. You can verify this with $ /usr/local/bin/bash --version which should be > 5.0 and $ /bin/bash --version which should be 3.2.57 from 2007 😂
5. Whitelist (add the new version of bash to the list of trusted shells) with $ sudo vim /etc/shells and add /usr/local/bin/bash to the the file
6. Set the default shell to use the newer version of Bash $ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/bash
7. Restart the shell and echo ${BASH_VERSION} should now give 5.0.0(1)-release or greater
