Feel like this should be at the top of the README - not the bottom

While I prefer Google's productivity apps to the Microsoft world in this case Google is just catching up to the APIs and tooling that Microsoft has provided for a long time: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/microsoftgraph/...

Yet somehow Microsoft Copilot doesn't know how to use that tooling.

Google really know how to screw up a product experience.

npm install -g @googleworkspace/cli

gws auth setup

{ "error": { "code": 400, "message": "gcloud CLI not found. Install it from https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install", "reason": "validationError" } }

Which takes you to...

https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install-sdk

Where you have to download a tarball, extract it and run a shell script.

I mean how hard is it to just imitate everyone else out there and make it a straight up npm install?

The readme is AI generated, so I am assuming the lack of effort and hand-off to the bots extends to the rest of this repository.

The contributors are a Google DRE, 5 bots / automating services, and a dev in Canada.

You don't need to use gcloud if you already have:

1. A GCP project (needed for OAuth) 2. Enabled APIs in said project

gcloud cli will probably also require you to make a Google Cloud project and stuff by clicking around their godforsaken webui. hopefully they streamlined that, it took me a long time to figure out when i wanted to write some JS in my spreadsheet

Common for them. Even for projects on the main google GH org more often than not there'll be stuff like "not an official Google product" and "it is just code that happens to be owned by Google" in the README.

Damn, so it won’t have the legendary Google promise of reliability and maintenance.
