Allow goobook to access Google contacts using OAuth2

$ goobook authenticate

$ goobook dump_contacts

goobook command [arguments]

goobook provides command-line access to Google Contacts, designed primarily for integration with the mutt email client. It allows searching contacts for email address completion and adding new contacts from email headers.
For mutt integration, add to .muttrc:

$ set query_command="goobook query %s"

authenticate

Authenticate with Google and store OAuth2 credentials

Search contacts matching query

Add contact from email headers (stdin)

Export all contacts to XML format

Reload and cache contacts from Google

~/.goobookrc

Configuration file containing Google API credentials, OAuth2 tokens, and cache settings.

Requires Google API credentials and OAuth2 authentication. Google's API quotas may limit frequent queries. Contact changes may take time to sync. The Google Contacts API access requires proper OAuth scopes.

goobook was created to bridge the gap between command-line email clients like mutt and Google's contact management. It provides a simple interface to Google Contacts that works well with Unix text-processing tools and email workflows.
