Tweeting on linux terminal with Twidge
I checked if there is any twitter client for linux, found 2 at a first glance. Twidge a CLI client and gtwitter a gnome GTK one. I’d like to show you how to use twidge and to worship to goddess of geekness.
Things you need:
- A computer running a linux distribution with apt-get (such as ubuntu)
- A twitter account
Preparation:
- open up terminal and type: sudo apt-get install twidge to install twidge
- than type: twidge setup
- enter your twitter username and password as directed.
- (optional) type: twidge lscommands to see all commands available, also you can type: twidge <the command you want to get help about> –help
- type: twidge update “Yay! This is my first tweet on command line, im so geek!”
- enjoy.
Preferably:
- You can make your computer to auto tweet something at some event using sh.
