  A CLI wrapper for Google Tasks

You must first login to a Google account using the gt auth login command and completing the OAuth flow. Other commands will not work until you are authenticated.

Installation

Due to no good way to store Google OAuth client credentials in a cli package, I have decided to not publish this to NPM for now. That means to install this, you need to clone it and npm link it:

1. git clone git@github.com:burtonjc/google-tasks-cli.git && cd google-tasks-cli - clone the repo and cd into it
2. npm install - install the dependencies
3. npm run build - build the package
4. npm link - create a global gt command

Creating custom Google OAuth client credentials (optional)

If you wish to set up your own credentials, follow these steps:

1. Go to Console Cloud.
2. Navigate to APIs & Services > Enabled APIs & services and enable the Google Tasks API.
3. Configure your OAuth consent screen adding scopes related to Google Tasks API.
4. Select Create Credentials under Credentials.
5. Create a new OAuth client ID.
6. Set the application type to Desktop.
7. Download the JSON file and replace the .client.config.json in the root folder with it.
8. Add http:/localhost:8085/oauth2callback as an item under the redirect_uris key in the downloaded JSON file.
