if ci_badges.map(&:color).detect { it != "green"} ☝️ let me know, as I may have missed the discord notification.

if ci_badges.map(&:color).all? { it == "green"} 👇️ send money so I can do more of this. FLOSS maintenance is now my full-time job.

Toolkit for:

1. Liberating variously formatted files from your Google Drive
2. Applying a set of transformations to liberated files
   • patterned rename
   • unzip
   • correct HTML errors
3. Profit

Want to link directly to the Google-Drive-hosted alternate format of a file? If yes, DO NOT use this gem. Instead follow these instructions.

OTOH, if you want to "own", host, track, etc your 'own' files (e.g. your resume), DO use this gem.

Imagine Google Drive is a 🐭 Imagine your file (e.g. resume) is a 🍪 🐭's 🍪 exporter: 🖨

Tell me if you've heard this one already.

1. Give 🐭 your 🍪 for "safe-keeping"
2. Recognizing this SPoF, you ask 🐭 to give back a 🍪 copy
3. "I'll run it through my 🍪 🖨", says 🐭
4. 🖨 replicates various 🍪 extensions: pdf, odt, docx, txt, rtf, zip, and epub
5. Rename 🍪 for web (e.g. replace with _)
6. Extract replicated .zip format to .html
7. Rename extracted HTML file for self-hosting
8. Realize 🐭's HTML is invalid
9. Fix 🐭's broke-ass (missing lang attribute and title element)
10. Upload 🍪 to your website (you're on your own for this part)
11. Finally Finished!
12. Find mistakes 😭
13. Bake a new 🍪
14. GOTO 1

This gem solves the classic 🐭-🍪 problem by automating steps 3-9. Will save at least 15 minutes each loop.

Note that it doesn't have to be a resume. There are likely other use cases that apply.

Available as part of the Tidelift Subscription.

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add undrive_google

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install undrive_google

gem cert --add <(curl -Ls https://raw.github.com/galtzo-floss/certs/main/pboling.pem)

gem install undrive_google -P HighSecurity

bundle config set --global trust-policy MediumSecurity

You'll probably want to follow these (outdated) steps to create a service account.

At the end of the process a [siteid]-[first-12-chars-of-key].json file will be downloaded to your computer. DO NOT EXPOSE THE KEY, i.e. do not push it to any public source repository.

When you run the undrive_google command this JSON key file should be in the current directory.

Additionally, an optional undrive_google.yml file in the current directory can give you control over the behavior.

What goes in the undrive_google.yml file?

All non-commented values shown are default.

# [PATH] Path to the JSON file with Google Service Account Key
key_file: 'service_account_private_key.json'

# ID of file to liberate, as key or title
file_id: '<actual-key-or-title>'
file_by: 'key' # or 'title'

# [String, Array<String>] Which extensions to download?
extensions: 'all'

# [Boolean] The HTML format download comes as a .zip archive.
# Want the .zip unzipped? (only relevant if extensions is `all`, or includes `zip`)
unzip: true
# [Boolean] Keep the .zip after extracting the `.html`?
keep_zip: true

# Rename downloaded files?
# rename_<type>, where type is:
#   1. a downloadable format name, like `odt`, `docx`, `pdf`, etc
#   2. html (which isn't downloadable, has to be unzipped from .zip)
# e.g.
# rename_html: 'resume.html'

# Rename downloaded files following a pattern?
# Only applies to files not explicitly specified with rename-<type>
# Will never apply to the html file unzipped from the .zip
# Used as: file_name.gsub(rename_pattern[0], rename_pattern[1])
# By default, no renaming, must be specified
# rename_pattern:
#   - "_"
#   - " "

# [PATH]
dir: '' # defaults to current working directory

verbose: true # or false

# [String] Set inner text of missing title element, if unzipping `.zip` to `.html`.
title: '' # When empty, defaults to the title of the file.

# [String] Adds lang attribute to html tag, If unzipping `.zip` to `.html`,
#            value is like `fr`, `es`, etc.
lang: 'en'

In this example we choose to download only the odt, txt, and epub extensions, and leave the remaining settings as default, except for title.

# [String, Array<String>] Which extensions to download?
extensions:
   - 'odt'
   - 'txt'
   - 'epub'

title: 'My Cool HTML'

NOTE: There is a bug (missing feature) in google_drive gem preventing export of epub format. You can use my patched branch if you need epub:

Create a Gemfile:

source "https://gem.coop"

gem "google_drive", github: "pboling/google-drive-ruby", branch: "pboling-epub-mimetype"

Please upvote this PR #427!

When liberating your files, ensure the script will use the Gemfile if it isn't in the same directory where you are running the undrive_google command:

BUNDLE_GEMFILE=path/to/Gemfile bundle update
BUNDLE_GEMFILE=path/to/Gemfile bundle exec undrive_google -c path/to/config

NOTE: If the Gemfile and the config are in the same, current, directory, you can simply run:

bundle exec undrive_google

My complete Gemfile looks like this:

# frozen_string_literal: true

source "https://gem.coop"

gem "undrive_google", "~> 1.1"

# See: https://github.com/gimite/google-drive-ruby/pull/427
gem "google_drive", github: "pboling/google-drive-ruby", branch: "pboling-epub-mimetype"

My undrive_google.yml config file looks like this (sanitized a bit):

file_id: "the-key-to-my-google-drive-file(find-in-the-url)"
key_file: serviceid-1234567890.json
dir: /my/path/to/my/cv
rename_html: resume.html
rename_pattern:
  - " "
  - "_"
extensions: zip
keep_zip: true
unzip: true
verbose: true
sweep: true

The liberated files get published at https://railsbling.com/cv.

While galtzo-floss tools are free software and will always be, the project would benefit immensely from some funding. Raising a monthly budget of... "dollars" would make the project more sustainable.

We welcome both individual and corporate sponsors! We also offer a wide array of funding channels to account for your preferences (although currently Open Collective is our preferred funding platform).

If you're working in a company that's making significant use of galtzo-floss tools we'd appreciate it if you suggest to your company to become a galtzo-floss sponsor.

You can support the development of galtzo-floss tools via GitHub Sponsors, Liberapay, PayPal, Open Collective and Tidelift.

Support us with a monthly donation and help us continue our activities. [Become a backer]

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
—Anne Frank

I’m driven by a passion to foster a thriving open-source community – a space where people can tackle complex problems, no matter how small. Revitalizing libraries that have fallen into disrepair, and building new libraries focused on solving real-world challenges, are my passions — totaling 79 hours of FLOSS coding over just the past seven days, a pretty regular week for me. I was recently affected by layoffs, and the tech jobs market is unwelcoming. I’m reaching out here because your support would significantly aid my efforts to provide for my family, and my farm (11 🐔 chickens, 2 🐶 dogs, 3 🐰 rabbits, 8 🐈‍ cats).

If you work at a company that uses my work, please encourage them to support me as a corporate sponsor. My work on gems you use might show up in bundle fund.

I’m developing a new library, floss_funding, designed to empower open-source developers like myself to get paid for the work we do, in a sustainable way. Please give it a look.

Floss-Funding.dev: 👉️ No network calls. 👉️ No tracking. 👉️ No oversight. 👉️ Minimal crypto hashing. 💡 Easily disabled nags

See SECURITY.md.

If you need some ideas of where to help, you could work on adding more code coverage, or if it is already 💯 (see below) check reek, issues, or PRs, or use the gem and think about how it could be better.

We so if you make changes, remember to update it.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for more detailed instructions.

⭐️ Star History

This Library adheres to . Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs. Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility, a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility. Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.

dropping support for a platform is both obviously and objectively a breaking change
—Jordan Harband (@ljharb, maintainer of SemVer) in SemVer issue 716

I understand that policy doesn't work universally ("exceptions to every rule!"), but it is the policy here. As such, in many cases it is good to specify a dependency on this library using the Pessimistic Version Constraint with two digits of precision.

For example:

spec.add_dependency("undrive_google", "~> 1.0")

See CHANGELOG.md for a list of releases.

Maintainers have teeth and need to pay their dentists. After getting laid off in an RIF in March and filled with many dozens of rejections, I'm now spending ~60+ hours a week building open source tools. I'm hoping to be able to pay for my kids' health insurance this month, so if you value the work I am doing, I need your support. Please consider sponsoring me or the project.
