Note for Windows Users (PowerShell):

If you're using PowerShell on Windows, you can create a custom function for executing the Task Manager more conveniently. Here's how you can do it:

1. Open PowerShell.

2. Run the following command to create a custom function:

function Tasking {
python "path\to\Tasking\__main__.py" $args
}

Replace "path\to\Tasking\__main__.py" with the actual path to your __main__.py file.

3. Once the function is created, you can use it to execute the Task Manager with a simplified command. For example, to run a command like tasking option, you can simply type:

tasking option

This custom function makes it more convenient to run the Task Manager from PowerShell on Windows.
