In this project, I learned how to build a command-line duplicate file handler in Go. I practiced working with directories, file paths, file sizes, hashing with MD5, sorting results, validating user input, and deleting selected files safely.

I was fight the grading software all the time. Stage 3 didn't work at all. Compilation errors are not reported properly, it just says that test #1 failed.Can't recommend the course in it's current state.
