clitt 1.0.0

Use Twitter from your terminal!

Clitt

Ever wanted to tweet straight from your terminal? Wait, is it just me?

How to install it?

I'm still working on deploying Clitt in a more friendly way but for now you can clone this repository, install all the dependencies (personally i recommend you use Poetry to handle this) and start using it.

How to use it?

Clitt is meant to be simple (or at least as simple as a command line client for Twitter can be), so you just need to execute the main script, __init__.py, choose an action and pass the required parameters to perform the action.

Running __init__.py for the first time will open a new tab on your browser with an authorization consent from Twitter, hit the authorize button, copy the code that will pop-up and paste it into the terminal. After the first time, your authorization token will be saved on your computer (and only there) for further uses.
