DESCRIPTION

13       Grive  is  a Google Drive (online storage service) client for GNU/Linux
14       systems.
15
16       It allows the synchronization of all your files on  the  cloud  with  a
17       directory of your choice and the upload of new files to Google Drive.

30

40              Forces grive to download only files that are changed  in  Google

.griveignore

78       You may create .griveignore in your Grive root  and  use  it  to  setup
79       exclusion/inclusion rules.
80
81       Rules  are  similar to Git's .gitignore, but may differ slightly due to
82       the different implementation.
83
84       ·      lines that start with # are comments
85
86       ·      leading and trailing spaces ignored unless escaped with \
87
88       ·      non-empty lines without ! in front are treated as "exclude" pat‐
89              terns
90
91       ·      non-empty  lines  with  ! in front are treated as "include" pat‐
92              terns and have a priority over all "exclude" ones
93
94       ·      patterns are matched against the filenames relative to the grive
95              root
96
97       ·      a/**/b matches any number of subpaths between a and b, including
98              0
99
100       ·      **/a matches `a` inside any directory
101
102       ·      b/** matches everything inside `b`, but not b itself
103
104       ·      * matches any number of any characters except /
105
106       ·      ? matches any character except /
107
108       ·      .griveignore itself  isn't  ignored  by  default,  but  you  can
109              include it in itself to ignore
