## Download

### Via Browser

Download this repository by clicking the **Clone or download** button at the top right and then choosing **Download ZIP** from the drop-down list

### Via Git

Run `git clone https://github.com/m455/rodo` at the command line if you use Git

## Setup

### GNU/Linux

#### Using the executable binary

Create a **$PATH** if you haven't done so already by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`

Make the actual directory for your **$PATH** by running `mkdir ~/bin/`

Add the **rodo** binary to your **$PATH** folder (in your **~/bin/** folder if you followed the instructions above) and make sure it's executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`

#### Using and creating a wrapper

Create a file called **rodo** in your **$PATH** folder (in your **~/bin/** folder if you followed the instructions above) by running `touch ~/bin/rodo` and then add the following contents to it: 
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
```
For example, if you downloaded the project to your `~/downloads/` folder you would change the line `racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"` to `racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"`

Make the **rodo** file executable by running`chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`

### Windows

*Instructions coming soon*

### Mac

*Instructions coming soon*

## Usage

The below examples assume that you have **rodo** set up in your **$PATH** folder. If you don't, you would navigate to the directory of the **rodo.rkt** file and use `./rodo.rkt <command>` if the **rodo.rkt** is executable or `racket rodo.rkt <command>` if it is not.

### init

Initializes a file in `~/.rodo/todo-list` by default

Example: `rodo init`

### ls

Lists items from the list
	
Example: `rodo ls`

### add

Adds an entry to the list

#### Adding a single-word entry

Example: `rodo add bread`

#### Adding a multi-word entry

Example: `rodo add "go to the bank"`

### rm

Removes an item from the list
	
Example: `rodo rm 1`

**Note:** You may have to run `rodo ls` to see which number corresponds to which item to remove it.

## Configuring rodo

Right now, the configurations can be found in the `config.rkt` file. Settings such at **program name**, **path**, and **directory** can be set here.
