How do I programatically add/remove items from Nautilus bookmarks?

Question

I want to remove Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos and add cloud to my Nautilus bookmarks as part of an user setup script.

How do I edit the bookmarks via the CLI?

Does this answer your question? [How to remove bookmarks from the Nautilus sidebar?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/79150/how-to-remove-bookmarks-from-the-nautilus-sidebar) — mikewhatever, Mar 31 '20 at 16:40
@mikewhatever No, it does not provide a way to add anything to the bookmarks. It only handles user dirs (Home, Downloads, Documents, ...). — u15p7fgy863eiq5, Mar 31 '20 at 23:39

Those bookmarks are controlled by ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs and adding new items configures the appearance of the list.

As an example, to add a Cloud bookmark from the list add a line:

XDG_CLOUD_DIR="$HOME/PATHTOCLOUD"
