Horus is an easy-to-use Twitter client in the terminal, built in Node.js with Commander. Inspired by t by sferik

How to set up Horus for your account.

Once Horus is running, type setup to begin the setup process to enter your API keys from Twitter. You will need to sign up here, signing up with your Twitter account and creating a new App in order to generate your API keys.

Usage

Horus' functionality is based off Twitter's SMS commands found here. Some have been omitted due to the inability to translate from SMS to terminal (such as notifications).
