       To have access to more advanced options, you  can  generate  .goobookrc
       config file by doing:

       goobook config-template > ~/.goobookrc

       An example config can look like this:

	[DEFAULT]
	 email: your_login@gmail.com
	 password: your_password
	 cache_filename: ~/.goobook_cache
	 cache_expiry_hours: 24

       If  you	do not give email and password, they will be read from .netrc.
       You can set password to prompt, in this case goobook will ask for  your
       password	 on  every  request. Instead of giving password in plain text,
       you can use passwordeval option to set a command for  extracting	 pass‐
       word from a secure location. You can use gpg for this:

       gpg --batch -d ~/encrypted_password_file.gpg
