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

Creating a wrapper

2. Add the following contents show below to it

#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"

to

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

2. Make the rodo wrapper file executable by runningchmod u+x ~/bin/rodo

ls - Lists items from the list

add - Adds an entry to the list

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