Inspiration

• Google Drive has become a vital part of our day to day life. As much as non-programmers use it, so do programmers in several situations, where we need not use git/github.

• Drive-CLI is a command-line utility for google drive which helps you access, sync, download, upload, etc. directly to your drive without leaving the command-line. The best part being the commands are similar to git CLI so that you can easily remember them :massage:
