Gws Calendar Insert

Clean Google Calendar event creation through the gws CLI tool. Takes the essential details (title, start/end times in RFC3339 format) and optional extras like location, description, attendees, and Google Meet links. The write command confirmation is smart since you don't want to accidentally spam calendars. Time zone handling works as expected, and the multiple attendee flag saves you from JSON wrangling. Requires the gws binary and proper Google Workspace auth setup first. Good for automation scripts or when you want calendar management without opening a browser.
