## Historique du projet et usages

x-cli is Erik Michaels-Ober's command-line client lineage for Twitter, now framed as a command-line interface for the X API. Its history runs through the earlier `t` Ruby CLI, which became a recognizable terminal-first Twitter tool, and the current x-cli repository, which updates the idea for X API authentication and v1.1/v2 API behavior.

### Historique du projet

The original project documentation for `t` says it was created after the twitter Ruby gem removed its command-line interface in version 0.5.0. The `t` project was offered as a successor, but as a clean-room implementation containing none of the original CLI code.

The current x-cli README describes the tool as a command-line interface for the X API, with OAuth 1.0a and OAuth 2.0 authentication, v1.1 and v2 API support with fallback behavior, streaming commands, shell completion, and YAML configuration. It also preserves migration behavior from the older ~/.trc profile file to the newer ~/.xrc default.

### Historique d'adoption

The project became popular because it made Twitter scriptable from ordinary shells: posting, listing, searching, following, and account management could be composed with pipes and other Unix tools. The current GitHub repository still shows thousands of stars and hundreds of forks, reflecting its long-lived CLI niche.

### Modes d'utilisation

Historically, users ran commands such as `t authorize`, `t update`, `t whois`, and list-management commands after creating Twitter API credentials. The current x-cli command tree focuses on `x` commands for accounts, search, streams, delete/list/set operations, and profile management.

Configuration is part of the project's continuity: the current README states that ~/.xrc is the default profile config, while ~/.trc is read as a fallback and migrated on write. That preserves the older `t` ecosystem while moving the command name and API model toward X.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

x-cli is package-nerd interesting as a social-network CLI that survived API churn, branding churn, and authentication changes. It is the kind of package users install not for a daemon or library, but to make a web platform automatable from shell scripts.

### Chronologie

- twitter gem 0.5.0: The original gem CLI is removed, leading to the separate clean-room `t` project.
- 2010s: `t` becomes a RubyGems-installed Twitter command-line power tool.
- 2020s: The current x-cli repository presents the tool as an X API CLI with OAuth 1.0a/OAuth 2.0 and API v1.1/v2 support.
- Current line: ~/.xrc becomes the default profile config while ~/.trc remains a migration fallback.

### Related projects

- The twitter Ruby gem is the ancestor context for the original CLI removal. The current x-cli README also identifies x-api as the client library layer for HTTP, authentication, and retry primitives.
