Lazy Hangout

Introduction

Lazy Hangout is a simple utility that aims to automate the generation of a Google Hangout link. Often, I tend to converse with my friends over Google Hangout and it feels quite cumbersome to navigate through my web browser in order to start a Hangout chat.

Get Started

Please follow the instructions step-by-step as it will aid the process of setting up this utility.

Pre-requisites

• Go

Service Account

1. Create a service account for Google Calendar API
2. By now, you should get a .json file with your service account's credentials
3. Place your credential file anywhere that feels secure to you

Environment Variable

The absolute file path in HANGOUT_CREDENTIALS_PATH is used to locate your credential file.

export HANGOUT_CREDENTIALS_PATH="<absolute-path-to-your-credential-file>"

Build

The last step is to clone this repository and build the project.

git clone https://github.com/LeonLyx/lazy-hangout.git
cd lazy-hangout
make build

Once done, you should be able to generate a hangout link by executing hangout-generator on your favourite terminal.
