a command line interface for printing events from user google calendar

installation

via go install

setup

Run the following command to create $HOME/.config/gcal-cli in your user home directory, this directory is where you can store the credentials.json and the oauth2 token

obtain the credentials

Google calendar apis require user to setup a Google Cloud Project and obtain the credentials to be able to access the api, I won't provide the google cloud platform credentials so you may obtain it by following the documentation -> setup gcp

once you obtain the credentials.json you have to put it in the $HOME/.config/gcal-cli

Authenticating

in order for you to authenticate is by execute any command that access the google calendar api like calw or events, it works by reading the token.json in your config file. When you execute the command for the first time it will give you an auth url to the google auth consent screen. once you done the consent screen don't immediately close it, you need to copy the token params in the url and paste it to the terminal.
