The auth command can be used in place of sensitive token and other credential information within shell scripts. By default, the user will be prompted when further authorization flow steps are needed, including the opening of a local graphical web browser automatically. The level of interaction can be isolated for scripts that must run without blocking on waits for interactivity.

Unlike many other authorization solutions, auth starts a local web server to handle the redirection and safely intercept the token that was upgraded from the authorization code. Other tools generally prompt for this to be cut and pasted in. If the opening of the web browser fails, a prompt is shown instead.

TODO

• Add Oauth 1.0a support (twitter)
• Add token revocation
• As much test coverage as we can achieve without a mock token server
• Add some detection of changes to the file since opened so don't
  overwrite with currently running process with the cache open (like vi)
