#32Basically Google’s take on GAM https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM
It's about time. Reminds me of how even Apple uses Jamf.
Re: Google Workspace CLI
#33I'm curious why `npm` is used to install a `rust` binary?
NPM as a cross platform package distribution system works really well.
The install script checks the OS and Arch, and pulls the right Rust binary.
Then, they get upgrade mechanism out of the box too, and an uninstall mechanism.
NPM has become the de facto standard for installing any software these days, because it is present on every OS.

#34Interesting post from the main contributor about this (at least I assume it’s what he’s referencing) https://justin.poehnelt.com/posts/rewrite-your-cli-for-ai-ag...

To my knowledge NPM isn't shipped in _any_ major OSes. It's available to install on all, just like most package managers, but I'm not sure it's in the default distributions of macOS, Windows, or the major Linux distros?

No package manager is. But of the ones that are installed by users, npm is probably the most popular.

#37Claude Opus 4.6 couldn't figure out how to use it to write to a Google Sheet (something to do with escaping the !?) and fell back to calling the sheets API directly with gcloud auth.
Re: Google Workspace CLI
#38Seems weird to require another tool (gcloud) to set it up, but it does look to be tightly integrated with google cloud.

What about pip? It's either installed or immediately available on many OSes
