gcpupload an uber simple Go program to upload files to a GCP storage bucket with authentication.

Why use this? You may have a micro-service or container running under Kubernetes, and you need a quick and easy way to upload database snapshots or backups to a GCP bucket with authentication.

You want to avoid at all costs a dependency chain hell with a node app or python script, with their squillion dependencies and feature overkill - something simple, compiled, and does it's job without a fuss. gcpupload is for you, pal. 😁
