vdirsyncer VS khal

Have a look at vdirsyncer. Sync calendars to a local directory and then use eMacs to read them.

I found vdirsyncer which seems like a nice and promising idea similar to maildir which I already use with notmuch, even though it seems too opinionated and the support for Google calender seems largely untested/unsupported.

For getting ics files, have you seen vdirsyncer ?

On another topic, I maintain a tool to synchronise calendars (e.g.: events and todos) using CalDav (a standard HTTP-based protocol which a lot of calendar servers implement). I'm actually rewriting this in Rust full-time these days.

I used https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer and made a cronjob for it on my host. The configuration is pretty simple - but always do a backup before testing! :)

Whatever CalDAV type calendar you go with (NextCloud and Radicale have been suggested here, Sabre/DAV, DAViCal and Baikal are other options), in case you need to sync calendars to it, you might want to look at vdirsyncer. This way, everyone can keep using his favorite app and you can still gather everything in once central place and have it all synced. Or you get everyone to set up DAVx5.

I have recently started organizing my calendars using `vdirsyncer` [vdirsyncer](https://github.com/pimutils/vdirsyncer)

Hm. Generally for folks who are familiar with the command line I suggest using vdirsyncer, a nifty little python program that lets you keep remote calendars in sync.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I just tried to setup dumb jump, downloaded khal as example project and tried to use `gd` while I'm with the cursor on a method. It always is asking me for a TAGS file, but I don't have any, I mean this is dumb-jump.

I use https://github.com/pimutils/khal ...maybe it would work with WSL?... for calendar and markdown diary (have a script that pulls calendar items, tasks that are due from taskwarrior, and notes from yesterday's "tomorrow" section into each new day's journal/diary entry) via vimwiki.

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

Apple iCal <-> vdirsyncer <-> khal <-> khalel

If that's a dead end, I'd look into CLI CALDAV clients that you could script around. Maybe something like khal? http://lostpackets.de/khal/

I tend to use khal in combination with vdirsyncer (which can sync a remote Google Calendar to local iCal files, and vice-versa). However I don't think it can handle all the meeting invite stuff you mention.

I like khal, which stores events in a directory of ics files. Not quite what you were asking for as it's not a single text file. The CLI for displaying, adding, and editing events is pretty nice though.

This looks very interesting. As the original author of khal (another terminal calendar) [1] I love some more competition in this space.

I've been using vdirsyncer to keep CalDAV servers in sync. It works with basically everything. Works great with khal but I've always wanted a month or week view so I'm gonna check this out!
