Explanation of the non obvious keys when viewing a toot
v= view. In this mode you can scroll throught the text of the toot if it doesn't fit the screeno= open. Gives you a list of all URLs in the toot. Opens them in your default browser, if it's an user or tag they will be opened in tutm= media. Opens the media with xdg-open
Tut is configurable, so you can change things like the colors, the default timeline, what image viewer to use and some more. Check out the configuration file to see all the options.
You find it in XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tut/config.toml on Linux which usually equals to ~/.config/tut/config.toml.
If you don't run Linux it will use the path of os#UserConfigDir.
But if you move the tut folder to XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tut/ and have set the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME
it will look there instead of the standard place.
You can find an updated configuration file in this repo named config.example.toml.
If there are any new configurations options you can copy them frome that file.
If you prefer a website you can read about all the options on tut.anv.nu and
if man pages are your thing use tut(5).
Head over to https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/releases
You can find it in the Arch User Repository (AUR). I'm the maintainer there.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tut/ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tut-bin/
You can also use tut-mastodon. Currently aur/tut collides with a package
named tut if you're running Manjaro ARM. So if you face the same problem you
can use this package instead. I suggest you add an alias for tut-mastodon to
tut in the config for your shell. Usually .bashrc or .zshrc.
alias tut='tut-mastodon'
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tut-mastodon/
tut package is available in the community repository.
https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/tut

suntorytimed is the maintainer of the package.
If you don't use the binary that you find under releases you will need Go. Use a newer one that supports modules.
# Fetches and installs tut. Usally /home/user/go/bin
go install github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut@latest
# You can also clone the repo if you like
# First clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/RasmusLindroth/tut.git
# Go to that folder
cd tut
# Build or install
# Install (usually /home/user/go/bin)
go install
# Build (same directory i.e. ./ )
go buildIf you choose to install and want to be able to just run tut
you will have to add go/bin to your $PATH.
Commands:
example-config - creates the default configuration file in the current directory and names it ./config.example.toml
Flags:
-h --help prints this message
-v --version prints the version
-n --new-user add one more user to tut
-c --config <path> load config.toml from <path>
-d --config-dir <path> load all config from <path>
-u --user <name> login directly to user named <name>
If you want to login to multiple accounts separate them with a space and use quotation marks. E.g. -u "acc_one acc_two"
If two users are named the same. Use full name like [email protected]
If you don't want to set --config or --config-dir everytime you can set
the environment variables TUT_CONF and TUT_CONF_DIR instead.
You can customise how toots and user profiles are displayed with a Go text/template.
You'll have to place a file named toot.tmpl and/or user.tmpl
in XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tut/ which usually equals to ~/.config/tut/.
You can copy ./config/toot.tmpl and ./config/user.tmpl
from this repo manually or with curl or wget.
cd ~/.config/tut
# using curl
curl -o toot.tmpl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/master/config/toot.tmpl
curl -o user.tmpl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/master/config/user.tmpl
# using wget
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/master/config/toot.tmpl
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RasmusLindroth/tut/master/config/user.tmplThe data available for you in toot.tmpl is two structs. The first one is the Toot-struct, you can see all fields in ./ui/item_status.go. The second one is the Style-struct. You can find the fields for style in ./config/config.go.
You acces them with .Toot and .Style in your template file.
The data available in user.tmpl is almost the same. You still have the
Style but instead of Toot you have a struct named User. You can see
all fields in ./ui/item_user.go.
To enable mouse support you'll have to set mouse-support=true under [general]
in your config.
If you run pass, gopass or something similar you can protect your secrets.
You'll have to manually update your accounts.toml. It should be located at
~/.config/tut/accounts.toml. Currently you can only hide ClientID, ClientSecret and AccessToken. The command must be prefixed with !CMD!. Here's an example
of what the file can look like.
[[Accounts]]
Name = 'tut'
Server = 'https://fosstodon.org'
ClientID = '!CMD!gopass show -o -f misc/tut-id'
ClientSecret = '!CMD!gopass show -o -f misc/tut-secret'
AccessToken = '!CMD!gopass show -o -f misc/tut-token'- mattn/go-mastodon - Mastodon API
