swill
swill is a Mastodon command line interface.
You can find releases on releases.gutmet.org or build it yourself.
build
Check out the repository and compile with
go build -o swill
usage
To update your status with text of any length and any number of JPGs, PNGs, GIFs, MP4s:
swill status STATUS [FILE1 FILE2 ...]
To get the timeline of a specific user:
swill timeline USERNAME
On first use, swill will ask you to register a new app and create an access token. Those values will be stored in HOME/.swill/ for later use. Include "https://" in your server URL if appropriate.
swill will automatically split large status messages and multiple files into separate statuses belonging to the same thread.
Each command can use a go text template to format the printed results - pass a file name to '--template'. The template is executed with a slice of []*mastodon.Status. See go-mastodon for available data fields.
final note
swill does not sanitize/validate user input.
