It is possible to pipe status text into `toot post`, for example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
echo "Text to post" | toot post
|
|
cat mypost.txt | toot post
|

Authentication
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
Before tooting, you need to login to a Mastodon instance.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
toot login
|
|
|
|
You will be redirected to your Mastodon instance to log in and authorize toot to access your account, and will be given an **authorization code** in return which you need to enter to log in.
|
|
|
|
If you don't use two factor authentication you can also log in directly from the command line:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: sh
|
|
|
|
toot login_cli
|
|
|
|
You will be asked to chose an instance and enter your credentials.
|
|
|
|
The application and user access tokens will be saved in the configuration file located at ``~/.config/toot/instances/config.json``.
|
|
|
|
It's possible to be logged into **multiple accounts** at the same time. Just repeat the above process for another instance. You can see all logged in accounts by running ``toot auth``. The currently active account will have an **ACTIVE** flag next to it.
|
|
|
|
To switch accounts, use ``toot activate``. Alternatively, most commands accept a ``--using`` option which can be used to specify the account you wish to use just that one time.
|
|
|
|
Finally you can logout from an account by using ``toot logout``. This will remove the stored access tokens for that account.
