Two usages:
Print availabilities on specific dates: python print_availability.py 2022-03-05 2022-03-12
Just print out availability for next three weeks: python print_availability.py
I added lines to my .bashrc to alias both these functions so I don't have to cd to the directory:
alias print_availability='python /Users/emmapierson/Desktop/print_google_calendar_availability/print_availability.py'
print_availability_with_dates() {python /Users/emmapierson/Desktop/print_google_calendar_availability/print_availability.py "$1" "$2"}
so I can just run print_availability_with_dates 2022-06-29 2022-06-30 and print_availability from the command line.
This seems to work fine for the 4 weeks of my own calendar I tested it on, but open a GitHub issue if you find any bugs and don't get mad if you miss an important meeting :)
