## Installation
Current build dependencies are as follows:
- `rust >= 1.36`
- `libsqlite3-dev`
The installation for the build deps will vary based on your OS (`Linux, BSD`)
Clone the repository and jump into the directory:
```
$ git clone git://github.com/gbmor/clinte.git
...
$ cd clinte
$ git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
```
Run the makefile and install:
```
$ make
...
...Done!
$ sudo make install
```
## Usage
Issuing the program name itself will list
the currently available posts, like in the screenshot above.
**Display recent posts**
```
$ clinte
```
**Create a post**
```
$ clinte post
```
`clinte` will then ask for the title of the post, and the body. The username will be
tagged automatically by your logged-in username, reflecting its intended use on
multi-user UNIX-like systems.
**Edit a post**
```
$ clinte update [id]
```
If the `[id]` argument is absent, `clinte` will ask for the ID number of the post.
If it's been authored by you, then you will be asked for the new title.
Your `$EDITOR` will be called, and will be populated with the previous body.
**Delete a post**
```
$ clinte delete [id]
```
If the `[id]` argument is absent, `clinte` asks for the numeric ID of the post to delete.
**Verbose logging**
```
$ clinte -v [post|update|delete] [id]
```
Use this flag if something's going wrong. Additional information will be written to
`/tmp/clinte_$USER.log` that will, hopefully, reveal the cause of the error.
