gcalcli VS lnav

gcalcli

I use Thunderbird, but also gcalcli (https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli) for quickly viewing daily agendas and adding events in the terminal. It has a nice “quick add” function that lets you add event using a natural language interface — you can type something like “Lunch with Amy next Wednesday at 2 PM at Trevino’s” and it will parse out the event name, time, and location. Google Calendar used to have something like this but removed it in a UI update.

gcalcli: really just a CLI interface to Google Calendar, so bringing it to mobile would basically involve re-inventing Google Calendar.

I had to compile gcalcli, which eventually got merged in the repos. I also compiled Vorta and Grace.

gcalcli - Google Calendar Command Line Interface

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

So I have an app which uses the gcalcli tool on Ubuntu. It integrates with my personal google calendar by using my own personal google cloud project with the calendar api enabled, and I provide it a desktop oauth token and secret. I run it as a testing project. Until now, it’s been working fine, but from today, I keep getting an error message on the oauth screen saying that it’s trying to access my sensitive data and it’s been blocked. As much as I’m confident I haven’t changed anything, I could well have.

gcalcli: terminal interface for Google Calendar.

Yeah; it is 500. But it works for me with the `gcalcli`[1] — a Python command-line tool that uses GCal API. (I'm assuming it's not serving me stale data.)

See https://lnav.org for a powerful mini-ETL CLI power tool; it embeds SQLite, supports ~every format, has great UX and easily handles a few million rows at a time.

The code base seems like a good reference as a small Python project.

My fav option in this class of apps: https://lnav.org/ It lets you use journalctl with pipes as requested here: https://github.com/Textualize/toolong/issues/4

For local development, I cannot recommend lnav[1] enough. Discovering this tool was a game changer in my day to day life. Adding comments, filtering in/out, prettify and analyse distribution is hard to live without now.

I don't think a browser tool would fit in my workflow. I need to pipe the output to the tool.

It looks like they run an SSH server inside a Docker container defined by this Dockerfile [1]. This uses the ForceCommand directive in the sshd_config file to ensure that a specific command is run when a user connects (rather than the user connecting directly to a shell).

Depending on whether the user connects as the `playground` or `tutorial1` user they interact with a bash script that is either [2] or [3].
