Hi all,

We've just released the latest version of syncall, 1.7.0, and it now (on top of the existing synchronizations), also supports bi-directional synchronization between Taskwarrior and Google Tasks 🥳🥳🥳

This is still early days but it works well with additions/modifications/deletions of events on either side being sync-ed to the other on subsequent runs of `tw_gtasks_sync`. Here's a few links that may be useful to you.

You can install PyPI using something like `pip3 install syncall[gtasks,tw]`
README with instructions on how to setup (+ demo run): https://github.com/bergercookie/syncall/blob/master/readme-tw-gtasks.md

Also some things to note:

For now you have to create your own google app + API key to use this integration. I'm planning to file for an official google app so that users won't have to but this may take a while. As a temporary solution I'll add the API key to the github repo so that at least until the integration reaches 100 users, it should work.
It's not possible to get the time part of the "due" field of a task using the Google Tasks API. Due to this restriction we currently do currently do sync the date part (without the time) from Google Tasks to Taskwarrior, but in order not to remove the time part when doing the inverse synchronization, we don't sync the date at all from Taskwarrior to Google Tasks.

Let me know what you think of it and please report any issues you find on github
