gomeet

A meeting reminder and auto-joiner that simplifies meeting management by automatically storing, retrieving, and opening meeting links

Configuration

Before using gomeet, configure it with your details in a valid JSON format. You'll find an example configuration file config.json to get you started.

Important

The config.json file is placed in the configuration directory of your system:

• Windows: it's %AppData%\gomeet\ (i.e. C:\Users\<user-name>\AppData\Roaming\gomeet\).
• Darwin: it's $HOME/Library/Application Support/gomeet/.
• Gnu/Linux: it's $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gomeet/, if non-empty, else $HOME/.config/gomeet/.

Adding calendars

Local Calendar: Include your local calendar details in the "events" array within config.json.

Google Calendar:

• Create a Google Cloud project.
• Generate a credentials.json file and place it alongside config.json in the gomeet config directory.

Important

The URL of the event should be placed in Location (الموقع الجغرافي) field.
