Using built-in Types

By creating a task of a type, you inherit the properties and actions of that type.

Run ./gradlew zipTask
Assert the zip file contains all the .txt files

Copy

Configure the placeholder copyTask task to copy the zip file made by zipTask to the folder archive
Run ./gradlew copyTask
Assert the zip file has been copied to an archive subdirectory

Delete

Configure the placeholder deleteTask task to delete all .txt and .zip files from the project root directory
Run ./gradlew deleteTask
Assert the .zip and .txt files have been removed

Exec

Create an Exec task that executes either ls or dir.
