# 🧭 gogcli — Google in your terminal. Google in your terminal — CLI for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Slides, Sheets, Contacts, Tasks, People, Groups (Workspace), and Keep (Workspace-only). ## Features - **Gmail** - search threads, send emails, manage labels, drafts, filters, delegation, vacation settings, and watch (Pub/Sub push) - **Email tracking** - track opens for `gog gmail send --track` with a small Cloudflare Worker backend - **Calendar** - list/create/update events, detect conflicts, manage invitations, check free/busy status, team calendars - **Drive** - list/search/upload/download files, manage permissions, organize folders - **Contacts** - search/create/update contacts, access Workspace directory - **Tasks** - manage tasklists and tasks: create/add/update/done/undo/delete/clear - **Sheets** - read/write/update spreadsheets, create new sheets (and export via Drive) - **Docs/Slides** - export to PDF/DOCX/PPTX via Drive (plus create/copy, docs-to-text) - **People** - access profile information - **Keep (Workspace only)** - list/get/search notes and download attachments (service account + domain-wide delegation) - **Groups** - list groups you belong to, view group members (Google Workspace) - **Multiple accounts** - manage multiple Google accounts simultaneously - **Secure credential storage** using OS keyring or encrypted on-disk keyring (configurable) - **Auto-refreshing tokens** - authenticate once, use indefinitely - **Least-privilege auth** - `--readonly` and `--drive-scope` to request fewer scopes - **Workspace service accounts** - domain-wide delegation auth (preferred when configured) - **Parseable output** - JSON mode for scripting and automation ## Installation ### Homebrew ```bash brew install steipete/tap/gogcli ``` ### Build from Source ```bash git clone https://github.com/steipete/gogcli.git cd gogcli make ``` Run: ```bash ./bin/gog --help ``` Help: - `gog --help` shows top-level command groups. - Drill down with `gog --help` (and deeper subcommands). - For the full expanded command list: `GOG_HELP=full gog --help`. - Make shortcut: `make gog -- --help` (or `make gog -- gmail --help`). - `make gog-help` shows CLI help (note: `make gog --help` is Make’s own help; use `--`). ## Quick Start ### 1. Get OAuth2 Credentials Before adding an account, create OAuth2 credentials from Google Cloud Console: 1. Open the Google Cloud Console credentials page: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials 1. Create a project: https://console.cloud.google.com/projectcreate 2. Enable the APIs you need: - Gmail API: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/gmail.googleapis.com - Google Calendar API: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/calendar-json.googleapis.com - Google Drive API: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/drive.googleapis.com - People API (Contacts): https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/people.googleapis.com - Google Tasks API: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/tasks.googleapis.com - Google Sheets API: https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/sheets.googleapis.com - Cloud Identity API (Groups): https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/api/cloudidentity.googleapis.com 3. Configure OAuth consent screen: https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/branding 4. If your app is in "Testing", add test users: https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/audience 5. Create OAuth client: - Go to https://console.cloud.google.com/auth/clients - Click "Create Client" - Application type: "Desktop app" - Download the JSON file (usually named `client_secret_....apps.googleusercontent.com.json`) ### 2. Store Credentials ```bash gog auth credentials ~/Downloads/client_secret_....json ``` ### 3. Authorize Your Account ```bash gog auth add you@gmail.com ``` This will open a browser window for OAuth authorization. The refresh token is stored securely in your system keychain. ### 4. Test Authentication ```bash export GOG_ACCOUNT=you@gmail.com gog gmail labels list ``` ## Authentication & Secrets ### Accounts and tokens `gog` stores your OAuth refresh tokens in a “keyring” backend. Default is `auto` (best available backend for your OS/environment). Before you can run `gog auth add`, you must store OAuth client credentials once via `gog auth credentials ` (download a Desktop app OAuth client JSON from the Cloud Console). List accounts: ```bash gog auth list ``` Verify tokens are usable (helps spot revoked/expired tokens): ```bash gog auth list --check ``` Accounts can be authorized either via OAuth refresh tokens or Workspace service accounts (domain-wide delegation). If a service account key is configured for an account, it takes precedence over OAuth refresh tokens (see `gog auth list`). Show current auth state/services for the active account: ```bash gog auth status ``` ### Keyring backend: Keychain vs encrypted file Backends: - `auto` (default): picks the best backend for the platform. - `keychain`: macOS Keychain (recommended on macOS; avoids password management). - `file`: encrypted on-disk keyring (requires a password). Set backend via command (writes `keyring_backend` into `config.json`): ```bash gog auth keyring file gog auth keyring keychain gog auth keyring auto ``` Show current backend + source (env/config/default) and config path: ```bash gog auth keyring ``` Non-interactive runs (CI/ssh): file backend requires `GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD`. ```bash export GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD='...' gog --no-input auth status ``` Force backend via env (overrides config): ```bash export GOG_KEYRING_BACKEND=file ``` Precedence: `GOG_KEYRING_BACKEND` env var overrides `config.json`. ## Configuration ### Account Selection Specify the account using either a flag or environment variable: ```bash # Via flag gog gmail search 'newer_than:7d' --account you@gmail.com # Via environment export GOG_ACCOUNT=you@gmail.com gog gmail search 'newer_than:7d' ``` List configured accounts: ```bash gog auth list ``` ### Output - Default: human-friendly tables on stdout. - `--plain`: stable TSV on stdout (tabs preserved; best for piping to tools that expect `\t`). - `--json`: JSON on stdout (best for scripting). - Human-facing hints/progress go to stderr. - Colors are enabled only in rich TTY output and are disabled automatically for `--json` and `--plain`. ### Service Scopes By default, `gog auth add` requests access to the **user** services (see `gog auth services` for the current list and scopes). To request fewer scopes: ```bash gog auth add you@gmail.com --services drive,calendar ``` To request read-only scopes (write operations will fail with 403 insufficient scopes): ```bash gog auth add you@gmail.com --services drive,calendar --readonly ``` To control Drive’s scope (default: `full`): ```bash gog auth add you@gmail.com --services drive --drive-scope full gog auth add you@gmail.com --services drive --drive-scope readonly gog auth add you@gmail.com --services drive --drive-scope file ``` Notes: - `--drive-scope readonly` is enough for listing/downloading/exporting via Drive (write operations will 403). - `--drive-scope file` is write-capable (limited to files created/opened by this app) and can’t be combined with `--readonly`. If you need to add services later and Google doesn't return a refresh token, re-run with `--force-consent`: ```bash gog auth add you@gmail.com --services user --force-consent # Or add just Sheets gog auth add you@gmail.com --services sheets --force-consent ``` `--services all` is accepted as an alias for `user` for backwards compatibility. Docs commands are implemented via the Drive API, and `docs` requests both Drive and Docs API scopes.

In Google Workspace, a service account can impersonate a user via **domain-wide delegation** (admin-controlled) and access APIs like Gmail/Calendar/Drive as that user. In `gog`, service accounts are an **optional auth method** that can be configured per account email. If a service account key is configured for an account, it takes precedence over OAuth refresh tokens (see `gog auth list`). #### 1) Create a Service Account (Google Cloud) 1. Create (or pick) a Google Cloud project. 2. Enable the APIs you’ll use (e.g. Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, Docs, People, Tasks, Cloud Identity). 3. Go to **IAM & Admin → Service Accounts** and create a service account. 4. In the service account details, enable **Domain-wide delegation**. 5. Create a key (**Keys → Add key → Create new key → JSON**) and download the JSON key file. #### 2) Allowlist scopes (Google Workspace Admin Console) Domain-wide delegation is enforced by Workspace admin settings. 1. Open **Admin console → Security → API controls → Domain-wide delegation**. 2. Add a new API client: - Client ID: use the service account’s “Client ID” from Google Cloud. - OAuth scopes: comma-separated list of scopes you want to allow (copy from `gog auth services` and/or your `gog auth add --services ...` usage). If a scope is missing from the allowlist, service-account token minting can fail (or API calls will 403 with insufficient permissions). #### 3) Configure `gog` to use the service account Store the key for the user you want to impersonate: ```bash gog auth service-account set you@yourdomain.com --key ~/Downloads/service-account.json ``` Verify `gog` is preferring the service account for that account: ```bash gog --account you@yourdomain.com auth status gog auth list ``` ### Google Keep (Workspace only) Keep requires Workspace + domain-wide delegation. You can configure it via the generic service-account command above (recommended), or the legacy Keep helper: ```bash gog auth service-account set you@yourdomain.com --key ~/Downloads/service-account.json gog keep list --account you@yourdomain.com gog keep get --account you@yourdomain.com ``` ### Environment Variables - `GOG_ACCOUNT` - Default account email to use (avoids repeating `--account`; otherwise uses keyring default or a single stored token) - `GOG_JSON` - Default JSON output - `GOG_PLAIN` - Default plain output - `GOG_COLOR` - Color mode: `auto` (default), `always`, or `never` ### Config File (JSON5) Find the actual config path in `gog --help` or `gog auth keyring`. Typical paths: - macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/gogcli/config.json` - Linux: `~/.config/gogcli/config.json` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gogcli/config.json`) - Windows: `%AppData%\\gogcli\\config.json` Example (JSON5 supports comments and trailing commas): ```json5 { // Avoid macOS Keychain prompts keyring_backend: "file", } ``` ## Security ### Credential Storage OAuth credentials are stored securely in your system's keychain: - **macOS**: Keychain Access - **Linux**: Secret Service (GNOME Keyring, KWallet) - **Windows**: Credential Manager The CLI uses [github.com/99designs/keyring](https://github.com/99designs/keyring) for secure storage. If no OS keychain backend is available (e.g., Linux/WSL/container), keyring can fall back to an encrypted on-disk store and may prompt for a password; for non-interactive runs set `GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD`. ### Keychain Prompts (macOS) macOS Keychain may prompt more than you’d expect when the “app identity” keeps changing (different binary path, `go run` temp builds, rebuilding to new `./bin/gog`, multiple copies). Keychain treats those as different apps, so it asks again. Options: - **Default (recommended):** keep using Keychain (secure) and run a stable `gog` binary path to reduce repeat prompts. - **Force Keychain:** `GOG_KEYRING_BACKEND=keychain` (disables any file-backend fallback). - **Avoid Keychain prompts entirely:** `GOG_KEYRING_BACKEND=file` (stores encrypted entries on disk under your config dir). - To avoid password prompts too (CI/non-interactive): set `GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=...` (tradeoff: secret in env). ### Best Practices - **Never commit OAuth client credentials** to version control - Store client credentials outside your project directory - Use different OAuth clients for development and production - Re-authorize with `--force-consent` if you suspect token compromise - Remove unused accounts with `gog auth remove ` ## Commands Flag aliases: - `--out` also accepts `--output`. - `--out-dir` also accepts `--output-dir` (Gmail thread attachment downloads). ### Authentication ```bash gog auth credentials # Store OAuth client credentials gog auth add # Authorize and store refresh token gog auth service-account set --key # Configure service account impersonation (Workspace only) gog auth service-account status # Show service account status gog auth service-account unset # Remove service account gog auth keep --key # Legacy alias (Keep) gog auth keyring [backend] # Show/set keyring backend (auto|keychain|file) gog auth status # Show current auth state/services gog auth services # List available services and OAuth scopes gog auth list # List stored accounts gog auth list --check # Validate stored refresh tokens gog auth remove # Remove a stored refresh token gog auth manage # Open accounts manager in browser gog auth tokens # Manage stored refresh tokens ``` ### Keep (Workspace only) ```bash gog keep list --account you@yourdomain.com gog keep get --account you@yourdomain.com gog keep search --account you@yourdomain.com gog keep attachment --account you@yourdomain.com --out ./attachment.bin ``` ### Gmail ```bash # Search and read gog gmail search 'newer_than:7d' --max 10 gog gmail thread get gog gmail thread get --download # Download attachments to current dir gog gmail thread get --download --out-dir ./attachments gog gmail get gog gmail get --format metadata gog gmail attachment gog gmail attachment --out ./attachment.bin gog gmail url # Print Gmail web URL gog gmail thread modify --add STARRED --remove INBOX # Send and compose gog gmail send --to a@b.com --subject "Hi" --body "Plain fallback" gog gmail send --to a@b.com --subject "Hi" --body-file ./message.txt gog gmail send --to a@b.com --subject "Hi" --body-file - # Read body from stdin gog gmail send --to a@b.com --subject "Hi" --body "Plain fallback" --body-html "
