⚠️ Security Note: Use Bluesky app passwords, not your main password! See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on creating an app password.

Login to your Bluesky account and save the session:

atpcli bsky login

You'll be prompted for your handle and password. The session will be saved to ~/.config/atpcli/config.json.

Options:

• --limit N - Show N posts (default: 10)

atpcli bsky timeline --limit 20
atpcli bsky timeline --p 2
