## Download
### Via Browser
Download this repository by clicking the **Clone or download** button at the top right and then choosing **Download ZIP** from the drop-down list
### Via Git
Run `git clone https://github.com/m455/rodo` at the command line if you use Git
## Setup
### GNU/Linux
#### Setup a $PATH
1. Create a directory for your **$PATH** by running `mkdir ~/bin/`
2. Associate your **$PATH** with the **~/bin/** folder you created by running `echo "export PATH=~/bin:\$PATH" >> .bashrc`
#### Using the binary
1. Copy the **rodo** binary file to your **$PATH** folder by running `cp /path/to/rodo ~/bin/`
2. Make sure the **rodo** binary file is executable by running `chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`
#### Creating a wrapper
Create an empty wrapper file by running `touch ~/bin/rodo` and then add the following contents to it and save:
```
#!/usr/bin/env bash
racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"
```
**Example**: if you downloaded the project to your **~/downloads/** folder you would change the line **racket ~/path/to/rodo.rkt "$@"** to **racket ~/downloads/rodo/rodo.rkt "$@"**
Make the **rodo** wrapper file executable by running`chmod u+x ~/bin/rodo`
### Windows

## Usage
The below examples assume that you have **rodo** [set up](https://github.com/m455/rodo#setup) in your **$PATH** folder.
**If you don't**: Navigate to the directory of the **rodo.rkt** file and use `./rodo.rkt <command-from-below>` if the **rodo.rkt** is executable or `racket rodo.rkt <command>` if it is not.
### init
Initializes a file in `~/.rodo/todo-list` by default
Example: `rodo init`
### ls
Lists items from the list
Example: `rodo ls`
### add
Adds an entry to the list
#### Adding a single-word entry
Example: `rodo add bread`
#### Adding a multi-word entry
Example: `rodo add "go to the bank"`
### rm
Removes an item from the list
Example: `rodo rm 1`
**Note:** You may have to run `rodo ls` to see which number corresponds to which item to remove it.
## Configuring rodo
Right now, the configurations can be found in the `config.rkt` file. Settings such at **program name**, **path**, and **directory** can be set here.
