# Todo
- [ ] Add color option to config.rkt file
- [ ] Encrypt todo-list file

2018-09-08 01:31:43 +00:00
# Setup
2018-09-08 01:01:00 +00:00
Follow the sections below to set up `rodo`, so it can be used from anywhere on
your system.
2019-02-25 03:43:41 +00:00
**If you just want to test `rodo` out, then just `cd` into the directory you downloaded
`rodo` into, and then run `./rodo.rkt`.**
2018-10-20 01:36:52 +00:00
## GNU/Linux
Follow the sections below to add `rodo` to your `$PATH`, if you are using
GNU/Linux.
2019-02-14 20:01:33 +00:00
### Set up a `$PATH`
Follow the steps below if you haven't set up a `$PATH`.
Tip: If you have set up a `$PATH` already, then skip to the next step, [Adding
`rodo` to your `$PATH`](https://github.com/m455/rodo#adding-rodo-to-your-path).
2019-01-31 14:46:14 +00:00
1. Create a directory for your `$PATH` by running `mkdir ~/bin/`
2. Add your newly-created `~/bin/` to your `$PATH` by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`
2019-02-14 20:01:33 +00:00
### Adding `rodo` to your `$PATH`
2019-01-31 14:46:14 +00:00
2019-02-14 20:09:47 +00:00
Follow the steps below if you have set up your `$PATH`.
2019-01-31 14:46:14 +00:00
1. Create a file in your `~/bin/` directory with the following contents in it:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
```
For example: If you downloaded the project to your `~/downloads/` folder you would change the line
2019-02-14 20:01:33 +00:00
`racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"` to `racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"`.
2018-09-08 01:01:00 +00:00
2. Save the file
2018-10-10 13:19:11 +00:00
3. Make the file executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/name-of-your-file`
2018-11-12 02:56:10 +00:00
If you prefer to use an executable, rather than a wrapper, you can create an
executable binary file with `raco exe rodo.rkt` when in the same folder as the
`rodo.rkt` file. If you are having trouble with this please refer to Racket's
documentation regarding the [creation of standalone executables](https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe.html).
2019-02-14 20:12:19 +00:00
# Usage
2018-05-20 02:03:00 +00:00
Type `rodo` plus one of the commands below with a space
between `rodo` and the command.
2018-05-20 02:03:00 +00:00
2019-02-25 03:49:46 +00:00
`init` - Initializes a file called `todo.txt` in `~/.rodo/` by default
Note: The directory and filename can be changed by modifying the `config.rkt` file
2018-09-08 04:07:43 +00:00
`ls` - Displays items from the todo list in a vertical format
`add` - Adds an entry to the todo list
2018-04-10 00:27:01 +00:00
`rm` - Removes an item from the todo list
2018-04-13 06:14:51 +00:00
Note: You may have to run `rodo ls` to see which number corresponds to which item when removing items.
2018-09-08 01:01:00 +00:00
## Usage examples
2018-04-10 00:27:01 +00:00
The examples below assume that you have `rodo` [set up in your `$PATH`](https://github.com/m455/rodo#set-up-a-path) in your `$PATH`
`rodo init`
2018-04-13 06:14:51 +00:00
`rodo ls`
2018-09-08 04:30:28 +00:00
`rodo add "go to the park"`
2018-09-08 04:30:28 +00:00
Note: If you leave out the double quotation marks here, only the first word
will be added. In the example above, only "go" would be added to the list.
2018-09-08 04:30:28 +00:00
`rodo rm 1`
2019-02-14 20:09:47 +00:00
# Configuring `rodo`
Caution: Change the `config.rkt` file at your own risk, as it may break things!
Right now, the configurations can be found in the `config.rkt file`. Settings,
such as the program name, directory, and the filename of the todo list file can
be changed.
