sferik/x-cli

This system is a command-line interface for interacting with the X (formerly Twitter) API, originally implemented in Ruby and recently rewritten in Rust. It provides a suite of subcommands for managing user accounts, timelines, direct messages, and social interactions, while maintaining backward compatibility with legacy command structures. The tool handles authentication via OAuth 1.0a and 2.0, manages local configuration profiles, and includes shell completions and documentation for various Unix shells.

A new manual page (man/x.1) has been added for the x command, documenting its command-line options (such as --color, --profile, --version, and --help) and listing all available subcommands including accounts, authorize, block, direct messages, follow, retweet, timeline, trends, and various user and place management features.

Users of the Fish shell can now enable tab-completion for the \t\ command-line tool. A new \etc/t-completion.fish\ script has been added, providing completions for global options (such as \--host\, \--color\, \--no-ssl\, and \--profile\) and subcommands (including \accounts\, \authorize\, \block\, \direct\_messages\, \dm\, \favorite\, \follow\, \mentions\, \reply\, and others), along with their specific flags. To activate this feature, users must source the new file from their Fish configuration.

etc · high confidence

This change introduces the foundational structure for the legacy Ruby-based Twitter CLI, including the RuboCop configuration (targeting Ruby 3.2), the main executable entry point, the core CLI command definitions, and shell completion scripts for Bash and Zsh. It also adds the project's changelog, contributing guidelines, license, and README documentation to establish the development workflow and user onboarding process.

legacy · high confidence

The Ruby-based command-line interface entry point (\bin/t\) has been removed from the repository. This file previously served as the executable wrapper to launch the \T::CLI\ application, handling argument passing and basic interrupt management. Its deletion indicates that the CLI functionality has been migrated to a different implementation or location, likely the Rust-based \x\ command mentioned in the commit history, rendering this specific Ruby script obsolete.

bin · high confidence

The lib/t.rb file, which previously served as the library's entry point by requiring t/cli, has been deleted. This change removes the top-level require statement that loaded the CLI component, altering how the library is initialized or accessed from this specific path.

lib · high confidence

Deleted the core implementation files for the \lib/t\ library, including the CLI definition (\cli.rb\), configuration file handler (\rcfile.rb\), account management set (\set.rb\), and version constants (\version.rb\).

lib/t · high confidence

The command-line interface has been rewritten in Rust and renamed from \t\ to \x\. This change introduces a new binary entry point (\src/main.rs\) and a library interface (\src/lib.rs\) that drives the CLI via a new runner (\src/runner.rs\). Command definitions are now generated from a manifest (\src/manifest.rs\) that parses legacy Ruby source files to preserve existing command structures and options. Profile management has been moved to a new Rust module (\src/rcfile.rs\) that handles loading, saving, and migrating the \\~/.xrc\ configuration file, including fallback support for the legacy \.trc\ file.

(repo-wide), src · high confidence

The x-api library has been rewritten in Rust, replacing the previous Ruby implementation and the external oauth-client crate with an inline OAuth 1.0a signing module. This change introduces new HTTP backend abstractions, including support for both OAuth 1.0a user-context signing and OAuth 2 bearer tokens, along with retry logic for transient 5xx and 429 errors. Error messages from the API are now formatted to match the previous Ruby gem's behavior, ensuring consistent user-facing error reporting.

x-api · high confidence

Added integration and compatibility tests for the Rust CLI port; Removed legacy RSpec test infrastructure and RCFile specs.

An empty .gitkeep file was added to the tmp directory to ensure the folder is tracked by version control.
