Mosabbir-Sadik/E-Commerce-Order-Management-System
A single-file C console app for managing e-commerce orders — create, search, update, delete, with flat-file persistence to orders.txt. Clearly a student project, not something you'd deploy. Useful as a C learning exercise covering structs, file I/O, and basic CRUD.
- Self-contained single-file build — gcc E_Commerce_Project.c -o ecommerce and you're done, no CMake, no dependencies
- Covers the full CRUD loop plus a basic analytics pass, so it's a reasonable teaching artifact for C beginners
- Unsaved-change tracking with exit prompt is a thoughtful UX touch for a console app
- 2 stars, 0 forks, last commit January 2026 — no community traction and almost certainly unmaintained
- Flat text file as a database means no concurrent access, no atomic writes, and data corruption on crash mid-save
- Single .c file with no tests, no header, no Makefile — fine for a homework submission, not a pattern worth studying for anything real
- No mention of buffer sizes or input validation in the code; C console apps without explicit bounds checking are a classic source of silent bugs
