# gdrive-search
**Warning: I used this to learn Rust. It might be the worst Rust ever.
Feedback to help me learn is very welcome!**
Fifty percent learning Rust, fifty percent building a CLI to very quickly
search & access files in your Google Drive.
On my Mac I had the Google Drive desktop app, and an Alfred workflow to use
that synchronised filesystem to quickly search & open Drive files. But I
haven't found an equivalent super-fast autocompleting search & open for Linux
so I decided to build one.
## What does it look like?
_Hitting enter would then open in your browser_
## What works?
- Sign in with Google Drive (if you follow setup below).
- Sync files & folders (currently fetches incrementally, every 5 minutes) and
save to file.
- Interface for searching for file/folders.
- Open chosen file/folder in your web browser.
## How do I get it?
### Binaries
Download [a release from GitHub](https://github.com/jalada/gdrive-search/releases)
if there is one for your platform.
### Arch Linux (including Manjaro etc.)
gdrive-search can be built from source via the
[AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gdrive-search/).
### From source
If you have Rust installed you can download and compile gdrive-search from
Cargo:
```
$ cargo install gdrive-search
```
### Windows support
Windows is currently not supported because gdrive-search depends on
[skim](https://github.com/lotabout/skim) which depends on
[tuikit](https://github.com/lotabout/tuikit) which [doesn't support
Windows](https://github.com/lotabout/tuikit/issues?q=windows).
### [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) workflow
In the [docs](docs/) folder there is an Alfred workflow which you can install
if you have the Alfred powerpack. It runs `gdrive-search` in a terminal when
you press the hotkey (cmd+D) and then closes the terminal.
## Google Drive API application setup
This dance will be familiar if you've used any other open source tools that
use the Google Drive API.
- Create a new project
- Enable the Google Drive API for your project
- Setup oauth consent screen
- Create a new oauth client ID
- Download the JSON provided and put it in the configuration directory. This
varies depending on operating system:
|Platform | Value | Example |
|---------|----------------------------------- |--------------------------------------------------------------|
|Linux | $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json | /home/alice/.config/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json |
|macOS | $HOME/Library/Preferences/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json | /Users/Alice/Library/Preferences/gdrive-search/clientsecret.json |
## Releasing a new version
1. Tag the release on Github.
2. Wait for Github Actions to cross compile everything.
3. Update the release notes.
4. Update the [AUR repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gdrive-search/)
PKGBUILD.
5. Test the PKGBUILD (ideally in a clean `archlinux:base-devel` docker
container).
6. Follow the [AUR release instructions](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AUR_submission_guidelines#Publishing_new_package_content).
## Roadmap
- Some indication of what type of file/folder each entry is.
- Can we fetch in the background whilst skim loads to make it even faster?
- A way of resetting the configuration.
- Better error handling if config files are in an invalid state.
- Multi-account support.
- A way to force a fetch from scratch.
