Authenticate on server with only Terminal about gcsf

[harababurel]

If you don't have access to a browser on the server, you need to first set authorize_using_code = true in $HOME/.config/gcsf/gcsf.toml. When running gcsf login some_session_name, it will tell you something like this:

Please direct your browser to https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive&redirect_uri=[...], follow the instructions and enter the code displayed here:

You can open the URL on any device, not necessarily the server. After logging in with your Google account and authorizing GCSF, you will receive a code that you can then copy and paste into the terminal where gcsf login some_session_name is running. This should create $HOME/.config/gcsf/some_session_name automatically with the following content:

{
  "tokens": [
    {
      "hash": 1234567890123456000,
      "token": {
        "access_token": "some_access_token",
        "refresh_token": "some_refresh_token",
        "token_type": "Bearer",
        "expires_in": null,
        "expires_in_timestamp": 1234567890
      }
    }
  ]
}

Note that you don't have to edit this file in any way. I hope this solves your issue.

Should I reset authorize_using_code to false or can it remain set to true?
