Setup

This tool requires Twitter consumer keys to function. Twitter is moving to disallow free usage of the API which is some hot bullshit, so you can pick up one of their own keys from here as a sincere fuck you to the new czar.

twt picks up keys from $CONFIG_DIR/twt/config.toml (see here for your platform's interpretation of $CONFIG_DIR)

# config.toml
consumer_key = "totally_real_key"
consumer_key_secret = "h4xx0r"
