gdatacopier - Command line document management utilities for Google docs. - Google Project Hosting

GDataCopier provides a complete set command line utilities (the syntax of which largely resembles scp) that allow users to

  • gls - list documents on the Google document system
  • gcp - export and import documents on the Google document system
  • gmkdir - make directories on the Google docs system
  • grm - remove documents and folders on the Google docs system
  • gmv - move documents in and out of folder on the Google docs system

I found gdatacopier again. Very useful tool to download/backup your Google Docs. Of course, I have a Google account for work and an account for home. This tool provides command line access to download all documents from both accounts to store and search locally.

I will now be setting this up as an automated process to backup my documents locally.

A successful Git branching model » nvie.com

At the core, the development model is greatly inspired by existing models out there. The central repo holds two main branches with an infinite lifetime: master develop

The master branch at origin should be familiar to every Git user. Parallel to the master branch, another branch exists called develop.

We consider origin/master to be the main branch where the source code of HEAD always reflects a production-ready state.

I can't wait to get my hands on this and start playing with it. Looks like this brings together a number of technologies such as Node.js, HTML5, Xcode and Javascript into a single application development framework. The introduction videos are impressive especially when Matt Taylor shows the deployment of a demo app to the cloud and to a native mobile device.
