Drive Git Repo

Share your git repository on google drive

Store your git repository on google drive using the bundle functionality of git. The scripts push and pull automatically your changes from and to the remote git bundle file starting from a local git repository folder.

The scripts use the google drive api (https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/python/) and need a git client installed on the local machine.
