GOG-SYNC

Please note that this is alpha software, you should not trust it.

A small tool to synchronize the stuff in a GOG library with a local folder.

It builds on the work of the unofficial GOG API Documentation.

This is the first time I am building something with rust, so beware :)

Installation

Install from crates.io.

cargo install gog-sync

Configuration

The configuration file is in the config folder as described by the xdg specification with a prefix of gog-sync.
