tui for Google Drive in Go

1. you will first need to configure a Google Cloud project. follow instructions from here to set it up
   • make a Cloud project
   • enable Google Drive API for the project
   • create a OAuth client picking "Desktop app" as the application type
   • you will need the credentials.json file (the actual name is different, so you'll need to rename it)
2. put the credentials.json file to $HOME/.config/godrive/ (alternatively, you may pass a different path in the command line arguments to the app)
3. authenticate once using go-drive auth; this produces a token.json file in the same $HOME/.config/godrive/ directory which is then used each time you make API calls
4. the filesystem can be accessed interactively via go-drive fs

installation instructions to be posted

for the best looks, you'll need to use one of the nerdfonts.

• selective sync functionality
• seamless merge of multiple accounts (combining multiple drive filesystems into one via tui)

even though this project is aimed to make working with Google Drive easier, in no way do i endorse using Google Drive in general. i can think of myriads of reasons on why not to use Google Drive, some of which are outlined in this article. there are plenty of alternatives ranging from fully open-source and even self-hosted to proprietary. the reasons i targeted Google Drive is:

• they provide a free API support (something, say, Proton Drive lacks);
• their free tier has 15 GB of space, which i don't believe any of other services match.

in other words: unless you absolutely have to, do NOT use Google Drive. and for gods sake, definitely don't buy their paid tier.
