Setup

The steps below will assist the user in setting up rodo

GNU/Linux and Windows Subsystem for Linux

Follow the steps below to set up rodo

Setup a $PATH

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

Adding rodo to your $PATH

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 racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@" to racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@".

If you prefer to use an executable, rather than a wrapper, you can create an executable binary file with raco exe file-name-here.rkt.

2. Save the file

3. Make the file executable by running chmod u+x ~/bin/name-of-your-file

Usage

Type rodo plus one of the options below with a space between rodo and the option.

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.

Usage examples

The examples below assume that you have rodo set up in your $PATH

rodo init

rodo ls

rodo add bread (Single-word entry)

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

rodo rm 1

Configuring rodo

Right now, the configurations can be found in the config.rkt file. Settings, such as program name, path, and directory can be changed.
