Google Calendar Command Line Interface

Command line based application running in node.js that allows access to Google Calendar API. This application basically uses the official Google's node.js client library. Supports authorization and authentication with OAuth 2.0.

Still in a early stage, issues or PRs with desired functionality or fixes are appreciated.

Authorizing

• Before running the app for the first time: You may need CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET and REDIRECT_URL. This information can be found going to the Developer Console, clicking your project --> APIs & auth --> credentials. Download the JSON file from the Developer Console to your working directory and rename it client_secret.json.

• Running the app for the first time: It will prompt you to authorize access, follow the instructions.
