nurdtechie98/drive-cli

A command line interface for accessing google drive

Inspiration

• Google Drive has become a vital part of our day to day life. As much as non-programmers use it, so do programmers in several situations, where we need not use git/github.

• Drive-CLI is a command-line utility for google drive which helps you access, sync, download, upload, etc. directly to your drive without leaving the command-line. The best part being the commands are similar to git CLI so that you can easily remember them :massage:

Features

• view-files: list your files; filter them by name, type.
• clone: download file/folder from drive using sharing link or file ID and get it linked.
• add-remote: upload existing local file to drive and get it linked.
• cat: view files contents of text format without actually downloading them.
• rm: remove particular file or folder.
• ls: list all the files present in the drive of equivalent current directory.
• status: list changes made to local files since last push or pull.
• pull: get latest changes from drive to local files.
• push: push the local changes to drive.
