📌 Overview

This project integrates Google Calendar events and ICS files with Google Tasks.
It allows you to automatically create tasks from calendar events, while also filtering them with keywords.

⚙️ Setup

   • Go to Google Cloud Console.
   • Create a project and enable the Google Calendar API and Google Tasks API.
   • Configure OAuth 2.0 credentials (desktop app).
   • Download the credentials.json file and place it in the project’s root directory.

2. Install dependencies

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. First Run

   • On the first execution, a browser will open to authenticate your Google account.
   • A token.json file will be created and reused for future logins.

🔑 Configuration

The project uses two keyword arrays to control event → task conversion:

• TASK_KEYWORDS

  • Add words that, if present in the event’s title/summary, will create a Google Task.
  • Example:

    TASK_KEYWORDS = ["exam", "meeting", "assignment"]

• IGNORE_KEYWORDS

  • Add words that, if present in the event’s title/summary, will be ignored completely.
  • Example:

    IGNORE_KEYWORDS = ["holiday", "birthday"]

⚠️ Priority rule:
If an event matches both TASK_KEYWORDS and IGNORE_KEYWORDS, it will be ignored.

📂 Usage
