Bash Google Apps Script Client
A very basic Google Apps Script client, written mostly in Bash, to aid with revision control of Script projects using Git.
Google API OAuth2 authentication is used by the client to access Script projects within Google Drive.
Pull, Push, and List Google Apps Script projects!
gscript was written to help with development of a drive add-on but is very much pre-alpha. If need be it can mature through many more iterations.
- Bash
- Perl, Python, or PHP (only one is needed)
- Git
- Web Browser for granted OAuth2 permissions
$ git clone https://github.com/gregl83/gscript.git
$ ln -s /path/to/gscript/bin/gscript /usr/local/bin
Remember to edit the path to your cloned copy of gscript!!!
gscript should always be executed from within a git repository root directory.
First create a Script project in Google Drive and then a Git repository for the project source.
Now get a list of your Google Drive projects by running the list command. Note: the first time gscript is executed it will need OAuth2 access to the Google Drive of the project.
$ gscript list
The list command will list names and unique identifiers for each project belonging to the authorized Google Drive account. Make note of the project identifier for later use.
Next run the init command from the project repository.
$ gscript init
A walk-through prompt for initializing the project (project identifier required) will run. The project source directory will default to repository-name/src. That is where the all the project files will exist.
After initialization run a pull of the Google Drive Apps Script project files.
$ gscript pull
To push changes or new files to Google Drive Apps Script use the push command.
$ gscript push
Important: to run either the pull or push commands the repository MUST have all changes committed.
