* Using environmental variables will override the config:

GNUSOCIALPATH - path to config file (default ~/.go-quitter)
GNUSOCIALNODE, GNUSOCIALPASS, GNUSOCIALUSER - account info

* Want to use a SOCKS proxy?
Set the SOCKS environmental variable. Here are a few examples:

	SOCKS=true go-quitter -socks # short for 127.0.0.1:1080
	SOCKS=tor go-quitter -socks # short for 127.0.0.1:9050
	SOCKS=socks5://127.0.0.1:22000 go-quitter -socks

* -flags can be placed before a [command]. Here are the available flags:

	-socks Don't connect without proxy
	-http Don't use https
	-unsafe Don't validate TLS cert

Install binary for your OS

Latest Binary Releases

Install from Go source (most likely newer)

If you have Go toolchain installed you can build and install it yourself with:

GOPATH=/tmp/go go get -v -u -d github.com/aerth/go-quitter/cmd/go-quitter
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aerth/go-quitter/cmd/go-quitter
CGO_ENABLED=0 make && su -c 'make install'

Go Get-able

Or use go get:

GOBIN=$HOME/bin/ CGO_ENABLED=0 go get -v -u -x -ldflags='-s -w' github.com/aerth/go-quitter/cmd/go-quitter

Configure

To avoid storing the password in plaintext, go-quitter saves an encrypted config file at ~/.go-quitter, if it gets messed up just delete it and make a new one. You can switch config files on the fly using the environmental variable GNUSOCIALPATH.

go-quitter config
GNUSOCIALPATH=gnusocial.de go-quitter config
GNUSOCIALPATH=gnusocial.no go-quitter config
GNUSOCIALPATH=gnusocial.se go-quitter config

Next time you run it, it will ask for your config password. I like to keep it blank so I just hit ENTER.

Usage

When running go-quitter with no arguments, a list of commands is printed. For more information, run go-quitter help

$ go-quitter read // public timeline
$ go-quitter home // home timeline
$ go-quitter search // enters search mode
$ go-quitter post \!group \#hashtag \#EscapeSymbolsWithABackslash
