gogcli — Google Workspace in the Terminal
gog is a fast, JSON-first CLI for the full Google Workspace suite. Always use --json for structured output when parsing results.
Environment
export GOG_ACCOUNT=joelhooks@gmail.com
export GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=$(secrets lease gog_keyring_password )
Both vars are required for every gog command. Lease the keyring password from agent-secrets before use.

Output Modes
| Flag | Use |
|---|---|
--json | Structured JSON to stdout (always prefer for parsing) |
--plain | Stable TSV (tabs, no colors) |
| (none) | Human-readable table |
Errors/progress go to stderr. Pipe --json output through jq for filtering.
Patterns
Batch Gmail search → summarize
gog gmail messages search 'is:unread newer_than:1d' --max 20 --include-body --json | jq '.messages[] | {from, subject, body}'
Find next free slot
gog calendar freebusy --calendars "primary" --from today --to tomorrow --json
Today's agenda
gog calendar events primary --today --json | jq '.events[] | {summary, start: .start.dateTime, end: .end.dateTime}'
Auth Setup (one-time)
If gog returns auth errors:
export GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD=$(secrets lease gog_keyring_password )
gog auth add joelhooks@gmail.com --services user
# Complete OAuth in browser, then verify:
gog auth list --check
Troubleshooting
- "Secret not found": Keyring password not set. Export
GOG_KEYRING_PASSWORD. - "No auth for gmail": Need
gog auth add <email> --services gmail(oruserfor all). - 403 insufficient scopes: Re-auth with
--force-consentto add missing scopes. - Keychain locked: This system uses
filebackend. SetGOG_KEYRING_PASSWORDenv var.
