📝 About

The To-Do List Manager is a simple CLI-based program that allows users to:

• Add tasks to a to-do list
• View tasks stored in a file
• Remove tasks by specifying their task number

The program stores tasks in a tasks.txt file inside the data/ directory, ensuring that tasks persist even after the program is closed.
