|
your list to a text file for later access.
|
|
|
|
### To initialize rodo
|
|
|
|
1. Run `rodo init`
|
|
|
|
## Displaying your list
|
|
|
|
Displaying your list will allow you to view items you have added to your list.
|
|
You will notice numbers beside the items in your list.
|
|
|
|
**Note**: These numbers are useful references for when you want to remove items from your list. For
|
|
more information, see the [Removing an Item from Your List](#removing-an-item-from-your-list) topic.
|
|
|
|
### To display your list
|
|
|
|
1. Run `rodo ls`
|
|
|
|
## Adding an item to your list
|
|
|
|
Adding an item to your list will save it to a text file to access later.
|
|
|
|
### To add an item to your list
|
|
|
|
1. Run `rodo add "this is an example of an item using double quotation marks"`
|
|
|
|
**Note** - The double quotation marks are optional, but recommended
|
|
|
|
## Removing an item from your list
|
|
|
|
When removing an item from your list, you can reference the numbers beside each
|
|
item when [Displaying Your List](#displaying-your-list). You can use these
|
|
numbers when removing an item from your list.
|
|
|
|
### To remove an item from your list
|
|
|
|
1. Run `rodo rm 1`
|
|
|
|
**Note 1** - The "1" in the procedure above will remove the first item in your
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
**Note 2** - You may need to run `rodo ls` first to see which numbers correspond
|
|
with which item in your list.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring rodo
|
|
|
|
You can configure rodo's settings, such as the location of the list file, and
|
|
