version: 0.0.1

Note: This is the first version of twit-cli (duh), so at the moment you can only send tweets. Over the next coming weeks, many new features will be added. This means versions will be updated rapidly. Each new feature will be an uptick. So ready your npm update command! On with the README...

Do you love running applications from the command line? Do you love doing everything with your keyboard? I sure do! If you don't then this tool probably isn't for you. The twit-cli tool features all the great things you like to do on twitter, but in the comfort, love, and safety of your terminal.

• node js
• npm
• A twitter api account
• A love for the terminal and cli tools

npm install twit-cli -g --production

Omit the --production flag if you would like to run tests.

Create a .twit-cli dot file in your home directory with the following values that correspond to your Twitter application account. If you haven't created one yet, create it here. In order for twit-cli to work, you must set the application to read, write, and direct messages. Without that setting, twit-cli will fail to work and you will have to using Twitter from some application that is obviously inferior to cli.

I created twit-cli mostly as an exercise to create a node.js cli tool, but also so I could tweet while in my terminal, because who doesn't want to do everything from the CLI.
