- Install ```go``` and make sure to add ```~/go/bin``` to your ```PATH```
- Use ```gmake```
- Install ```minify``` (although I think I had not added ```go/bin``` to ```PATH```)
- Install ```pkgconf``` that gives you ```pkgconf``` and ```pkg-config``` 
- ```gmake deps && gmake``` 
- It will run the server, so just ```ctrl-c``` and start using the programs. 2020-11-20T17:55:56Z @ (#) Sure, I will check the step about “minify” and submit a PR later today. 2020-11-21T17:54:03Z @ (#) Having a proper Go environment is crucial, but I did a hurried Go install on that FreeBSD box and just tried to build ```twt``` right away. 2020-11-21T19:32:45Z @ (#) Edited the README and submitted that in the PR. Hope it's ok with the maintainers. 2020-12-19T16:51:09Z Posting from the CLI with twt 2020-12-19T17:49:33Z Using twt as a post_tweet_hook for txtnish to re-post to a twtxt "pod" https://github.com/jointwt/twtxt 2020-12-19T17:52:45Z Used bash to remove the timestamp of the just -posted tweet to twttxt.txt and passed that to twt to re-post to the configured pod 2020-12-19T18:14:23Z Doing some housekeeping at gopher://oevl.info as some old folders were being published 2020-12-19T23:29:27Z Minimal gophermap design for gopher://oevl.info # 2020-12-20T00:03:44Z @ (#) Txtnish adds a 28 character timestamp to the message, so in Bash: tweet=tail -1 the current twtxt.txt file and then pipe echo body=${tweet:28} to twt. 2020-12-20T00:08:34Z @ Testing if this will be added to the thread just adding the hashtag. # 2020-12-20T00:10:15Z @ It did, posting from txtnish, nice to know. # 2020-12-20T00:13:52Z Enough gophering and twtexting for now, taking a break to enjoy the evening 2020-12-21T00:15:00Z Yes @, I will be cross-posting to twtxt.net, following the POSSE principle https://indieweb.org/POSSE . # 2020-12-22T00:40:41Z (#) @jb55 @ I just use Txtnish's post_tweet_hook facility to pass data to other command line tools and cross-post.
