README

gcal-purge

This simple tool will delete all google calendar events within a time range. This is currently not designed for public use, and will not be supported outside of my Pivotal colleagues.

Options:
    --calendar-id, -c  string  The ID of the Google Calendar you wish to purge (default: primary)
    --dry-run          bool    Will print what will happen to stderr, but won't actually do it
    --end-date         string  The date when the tool should end purging at 11:59 PM local time in YYYY-MM-DD format (default: today)
    --help, -h         bool    Print this message and quit
    --start-date       string  The date when the tool should start purging at 12:01 AM local time in YYYY-MM-DD format (default: 1970-01-01)
    --verbose, -v      bool    Enable more verbose logging

Steps to use:

1. Download the latest compiled binary from the Releases page or build from source.
2. Ping me for app credentials

When you run the app, it will open a browser and let you log in to the Google Account of your choice. When you copy the token and paste into the CLI, it will save a token in $HOME/.gcal-purge. If you have authorization issues, try deleting the file and trying again.

If the run quits unexpectedly in the middle of a run, look for a Rate Limit Exceeded error. If that is the case, wait a few seconds and run again, and it will pick up where it left off.

Any questions? Ping me on Slack.
