Google shows its love for linux by unveiling a commandLine tool that would enable Linux users to have Cloud Computing on fingertips. The new Tool, GoogleCL enables access to all Google Services: Picasa, Youtube, Blogger etc right from the terminal (commandLine).
Uploading photos to Picasa is now as easy as the command below:
$ google picasa create –title “My New album” ~/Photos/*.jpg
GoogleCL utility works across various Google services. It streamlines tasks such as posting to a Blogger blog, adding events to Calendar, or editing documents on Google Docs.
For Instance
$ google blogger post –blog “My blog” –tags “python, googlecl, development” my_post.html
$ google calendar add “Dinner party with George today at 6pm” # add event to calendar
$ google docs delete –title “Evidence”
$ google youtube post –category Education –devtags GoogleCL killer_robots.avi
$ google docs edit –title “Shopping list” –editor vim
GoogleCL is a pure Python application that uses GData nder the hood to support all Google services seamlessly.
