### Via Git

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

## Setup

### GNU/Linux

#### Setup a $PATH

1. Create a directory for your `$PATH` by running `mkdir ~/bin/`

2. Associate your `$PATH` with the ~/bin/ folder you created by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`

#### Using the binary

1. Copy the rodo binary file to your `$PATH` folder by running `cp /path/to/rodo ~/bin/`

2. Make the rodo binary file executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`

#### Creating a wrapper

1. Create an empty wrapper file by running `touch ~/bin/rodo`. 

2. Add the following contents show below to it

```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
```
3. Save the file

For example, if you downloaded the project to your ~/downloads/ folder you would change the line `racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"` to `racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"`

2. Make the rodo wrapper file executable by running`chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`

## Usage

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

ls - Lists items from the list

add - Adds an entry to the list

rm - Removes an item from the list

**Note:** You may have to run `rodo ls` to see which number corresponds to which item when removing items.

## Examples

The examples below assume that you have rodo [set up](https://github.com/m455/rodo#setup-a-path) in your `$PATH`

init - `rodo init`

ls - `rodo ls`

add (Single-word entry) - `rodo add bread`

add (Multi-word entry) - `rodo add "go to the bank"`

rm - `rodo rm 1`

## 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.
