A command-line utility tool made using Java and Maven.

Currently includes the commands:

• Diff
• Task
• Greet

Detailed usage examples are provided below(all of which assume there is an alias set up).

Commands:

1. Diff

Finds the line-by-line diff between 2 given files and prints it.

> adclu diff "filepath1" "filepath2"

Where filepath1 and filepath2 are the file paths to each of your files, such as:

> adclu diff ./file1.txt ./resources/file2.txt

Implemented with O(nm) time complexity using the Longest common Subsequence concept.

2. Task

Maintains a Task List from which tasks can be displayed, added, or deleted.

To display the tasks:

> adclu task show

To delete a task:

> adclu task delete "number"

where "number" is the task number displayed using task show, used as

> adclu task delete 3

To add a task:

> adclu task delete "task name"

Used as

> adclu task add fix my sleep cycle

where fix my sleep cycle will be added as a task.

3. Greet

A hellow world program that prints hello! or hello args! if args were supplied.

> adclu greet Guests
hello Guests!

Abbreviations

Any of the commands and the arguments which are not values can be abbreviated to the first letter of the command. Any of the following uses is completely valid:

> adclu task s
> adclu t s
> adclu g 
> adclu t a new task, eat good food
> adclu t d 3
> adclu d ./file1.txt ./file3.txt

Running the Jar

The straightforward way to run the Jar is as follows

java -jar home/code/adclu-jar-with-dependencies.jar args

where "home/code/adclu-jar-with-dependencies" is the address of the adclu-jar-with-dependencies.jar and args is a part of one of the commands specified above.

Running the jar file can be made easier using an Alias set to

alias adclu="java -jar home/code/adclu-jar-with-dependencies"

on Linux. Or for Powershell users,

function adclufunc {
    java -jar C:\Users\adity\Code\Adclu\adclu\target\adclu-jar-with-dependencies.jar $args
}
New-Alias adclu adclufunc

in the profile.ps1 file.

Packaging with a executable may be done in the future.
