This is a simple method for using ggsrun. ggsrun is a CLI tool to execute Google Apps Script (GAS) on a terminal. Also this CLI tool can be used for managing files in Google Drive for OAuth2 and Service Account.

When you use ggsrun, it is required to retrieve the client ID and client secret and/or the service account at Cloud Platform Project. But, there is the case that you want to simply test or you want to just upload and download the files for Google Drive. In this post, I would like to introduce how to simply use ggsrun.
