babel-cli 0.3.4

# babel

The `babel` command line interface provides a single command for sending *messages* to *endpoints*. Endpoints can (currently) be HTTP addresses, SMS numbers, user defined aliases, or (planned) public keys and hashes.

## Usage

Send a text message:
```
babel 4041234567 "Ohai thar"
```

Use an alias:
```
babel bob "Wazzaap!"
```

Make an HTTP request:
```
babel -r http://ipinfo.io/json
```

## Installation

To send SMS messages, you'll first need to set up a [Twilio](https://www.twilio.com) account. Follow the instructions for your platform, then run
```
babel YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER Hello World
```
and edit `~/.babel/sms.toml` with your Twilio account settings. Save it and try again.
