A simple tool to synchronize your Epitech events with Google calendar.

To run this script you have to use your Epitech auto login token which can be found here. The URL is of the form https://intra.epitech.eu/auth-XXX... The token used by the script is only the right part of the URL after the auth- part.

You have to enable the Google Calendar API for your account. You can follow the Google developer QuickStart and click ENABLE THE GOOGLE CALENDAR API button. Then in the resulting dialog click DOWNLOAD CLIENT CONFIGURATION and save the file credentials.json to your working directory.

go get -v -u github.com/ShellBear/epical/...
epical version

You can also download the binaries from the releases page.

A command to synchronize Epitech events with your Google calendar.

./epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN sync

A command to list Epitech events.

./epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN list

Delete all events previously created by EpiCal.

./epical clear

You can specify the Google Calendar API folder path containing credentials.json and token.json files using the --credentials or -c option.

./epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN --credentials /run/secrets/ sync

The easiest way to run this tool is to execute it with a periodic cron job.

First, you need to generate the token.json file, which is the Google Calendar API token file. Make sure you have the file credentials.json and then run the script for the first time:

If the credentials.json file is in your current directory then you can just do:

epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN

Otherwise, you can specify the path of the folder where it can be found:

epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN --credentials /run/secrets/

Then a message will appear:

Go to the following link in your browser then type the authorization code: 
https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth...

Just open this link in a browser, sign in with your google account, and paste the code you received. Then, the token.json will be generated automatically.

Finally, make sure that cron is installed and that the /etc/cron.hourly folder exists. Just create a script in the /etc/cron.hourly directory or any other cron directory of your choice:

> cat /etc/cron.hourly/epical
#!/bin/sh

EPICAL_BINARY_PATH/epical --token YOUR_EPITECH_AUTOLOGIN_TOKEN -c CREDENTIALS_AND_TOKEN_FOLDER_PATH sync

Then give execute permission to the script and check that everything is working correctly:

chmod +x /etc/cron.hourly/epical
run-parts -v /etc/cron.hourly/

Congrats, you're done!
