README.md

rodo

A simple todo list application for people who live in the terminal

Screenshot

New things!

Now the default directory and todo list file have better default permissions:

  • rodo is now license under AGPL3!
  • ~/.rodo/ is set to 700 by default
  • ~/.rodo/todo.txt is set to 600 by default.

Todos

  • Update README so it's up to "technical writing standards"
  • Add color option to config.rkt file
  • Encrypt todo.txt file

TL;DR

Run ./rodo.rkt or, if you want an executable, run raco exe rodo.rkt to compile the project into a single executable file, and then run that.

Table of Contents

Platforms

Below is a list of platform(s) that rodo is currently available for.

  • Unix-like operating systems:
    • Windows Subsystem for Linux (Tested)
    • GNU/Linux (Untested)
    • macOS (Untested)

Requirements

Below is a list of items needed for running rodo on your machine.

Downloading

Run the command below to download rodo using the git command.

git clone https://github.com/m455/rodo

Setup

Follow the sections below to set up rodo, so it can be used from anywhere on your system.

Tip: If you just want to test rodo out, then just cd into the directory you downloaded rodo into, and then run ./rodo.rkt.

Unix-likes

Continue on to the sections below to add rodo to your $PATH.

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.

  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

Follow the steps below to add the rodo.rkt file to your $PATH.

Tip: If you prefer to use an executable, rather than a wrapper (see the note after step one below to see what a "wrapper" is), 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 the raco exe command, refer to Racket's documentation regarding the creation of standalone executables.

  1. Create a file in your ~/bin/ directory with the following contents in it:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"

Note: The file created above is called a "wrapper". This is a script that runs the rodo.rkt file through the Racket interpreter. If you wish to directly run rodo as an executable from your $PATH, see the tip above

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

  1. Save the file

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

Usage

Type rodo plus one of the commands below with a space between rodo and the command.

-h or --help - Displays the help message

init - Creates a file called todo.txt in ~/.rodo/ by default

Note: The directory and filename can be changed by modifying the config.rkt file

ls - Displays numbered items in the todo list

add - Adds an item to the todo list

rm - Removes an item from the todo 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 in your $PATH

rodo -h

rodo --help

rodo init

rodo ls

rodo add "this is a task"

rodo add this is a task without quotes

rodo rm 1

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

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.
