manage-gmail-labels

This is a python command line tool to manage Gmail labels, i.e. creating, deleting, removing. It also keeps track of the performed operations on your Gmail account in a separate .log file. It does not perform any operations over emails as of yet, but these can be considered in the future.

This work was created as a pet project and a way to practice Python (https://docs.python.org/3/library/) and Gmail Client Libraries API (e.g. https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/labels) Actual code was much imported from the Gmail API Examples provided. The initial code actually started from this tutorial: https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/quickstart/python
