# bird 🐦

Fast X/Twitter CLI using GraphQL + cookie auth.

## Install

```bash
# npm/pnpm/bun
npm install -g @steipete/bird

# Homebrew (macOS, prebuilt binary)
brew install steipete/tap/bird

# One-shot (no install)
bunx @steipete/bird whoami
```

## Authentication

`bird` uses cookie-based auth.

Use `--auth-token` / `--ct0` to pass cookies directly, or `--cookie-source` for browser cookies.

Run `bird check` to see which source is active. For Arc/Brave, use `--chrome-profile-dir <path>`.
