Welcome to the User Guide for my personal Duke implementation. In this User Guide, you will find the basic instructions on the commands you can execute in the input box of the Duke GUI.
There are a few implemented features in Duke. The exhaustive list of the current features are as follows:

Command: save
This command will save the current Tasks to disk.
Example Usage: save

Command: delete [task_num]
This command will delete the task_num-th Task from Duke. The task_num is the number of the Task when you run the list command.

Note that the creation of the different Tasks (ToDo, Deadline, Event) are differentiated by their command word (todo, deadline and event respectively)

This command will create a new ToDo Task. This ToDo task will be displayed with the description of the ToDo.
