drivel

drivel is a Twitter command line interface for status updates and media upload.

You can find releases on releases.gutmet.org or build it yourself.

build

go get -u git.gutmet.org/drivel.git

This will also fetch the dependencies goutil and dghubble's oauth1 library (backup). Compile with

go build drivel.go credentials.go

usage

drivel STATUS [FILE1, FILE2, ...]

with any number of files, as long as they are .jpg, .png, .gif or .mp4 and smaller than 5 MB each. On first use, drivel will ask you to go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new, register a new app and create an access token. Those values will be stored in HOME/.drivel/ for later use.

drivel will automatically split large status messages and multiple files into separate tweets belonging to the same thread.

example:

$ ./drivel
Usage: drivel STATUS [FILE1, FILE2, ...]
$ ./drivel "First Message"
Did not find /home/alexander/.drivel, creating.
Go to https://apps.twitter.com/app/new to register a new app
and create an access token

Consumer Key: someconsumerkey
Consumer Secret: somesecret
Access Token: sometoken
Access Token Secret: sometokensecret
