From the README
Unofficial Google Photos Desktop GUI Client
Download the
gotohp-clirelease artifact for your platform. It runs without the GUI.The CLI shares the config file with the GUI, but reads only the stored credentials from it. Everything else (proxy, quality, upload behaviour) is set by flags, so a scripted run is unaffected by preferences changed in the GUI. Pass
--config <path>to use a different config file and--account <email>to upload with a specific stored account.Run
gotohp-cli helporgotohp-cli upload --helpfor all commands and options.The GUI binary runs the same CLI when given a command, e.g.
gotohp upload ....
