shelltwit allows you to update your twitter status via command line. It also has bit.ly integration for url shortening. It's a good example of twitter API calls with xAuth. As of Jun-05-2017 it uses PIN-based authorization

Little more (?) info about it at the original blog post

After downloading the source files build the sln with Visual Studio 2017 (framework 4.6)

There's also a .net core 1.1 solution called shelltwitcore.sln (figures). You can also open that up with Visual Studio 2017 or go straight to the shelltwitcore folder and work with Visual Studio Code from there. Since .net core 1.1 there's a csproj file so you just build that project and that's it. This build has been tested on Ubuntu WSL, and it works on my machine .

For my next trick I'll create a docker image so it will definetely works on yours too.
