A simple budgeting tool with a command line interface

Budget-CLI

A budgeting tool with a command line interface. Initially started to learn .NET Core, TDD, and other random technologies.

"It's like YNAB but with fewer features and no GUI."

Alternate tag line:

"Because a subscription for a budgeting tool shouldn't be part of your budget (*cough* ynab *cough* ^{_{$12/mo! seriously?}} *cough*)!"

^{*This project is obviously not opinionated at all}

Usage

dotnet run -p BudgetCli.ConsoleApp <path-to-file> or any of the several Visual Studio Code tasks.

The <path-to-file> is a path to a budget file (SQLite), typically with extension .budget. The file will be created if it does not exist.
