Developing a GAS Powered Google Workspace Add-on And Launching It To The Marketplace

This guide will walk you through creating a public Google Workspace Add-on, and launching it in the Google Workspace Marketplace for as free as possible.

This guide was written as I developed and launched my first add-on: Nacho Auto Vacation for Gmail™.

This gist includes an enhancement to Debian's snapper package.

The current (as of 2023-07-23) snapper package includes an apt configuration that will automatically take snapper snapshots when you use apt to install/remove/etc. It will add use "apt" as the description of the pre/post snapshot.

With the below changes to the /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/80snapper file and associated dpkg-pre-post-snapper.sh file, snapper will include the full apt command, including the arguments, in the snapshot description.

For example:

$ sudo apt install funky

Overview

For whatever reason, openSUSE disables the polkit for Kate that will make it so Kate will prompt for a password when you try to edit root owned files.

The only way I could figure out how to get Kate to open these files is using the command VISUAL="kate -b" sudoedit <file>.

So I wrote a little helper script (to put be put in .bashrc) that opens kate for any file.

• If the current user has write access to the file/folder, it'll open kate as the current user
• If the current user does not have write access to the file/folder, it'll use sudoedit to open the file.

Markdown and reStructuredText

GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as
