history
Project history and usage
deck is a Go CLI for building Google Slides presentations from Markdown while keeping slide content and slide design separate. It is aimed at people who want versionable text sources and iterative updates against a real Google Slides deck.
Project history
The GitHub repository was created in March 2025, and the README describes the project around continuous deck building and separation of Markdown content from Google Slides design. Its release stream moved quickly through many versions, with v1.24.0 published in June 2026.
Adoption history
The README documents Homebrew, `go install`, and manual release-binary installation. Formula metadata also shows packaging in Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu, Nix, and winget contexts, while the official releases include cross-platform artifacts.
How it is used
Users configure Google OAuth client credentials, create or identify a Google Slides presentation, write slides in Markdown with YAML frontmatter, and run commands such as `deck new`, `deck apply`, `deck apply --watch`, `deck open`, and `deck ls-layouts`. Configuration can live in XDG config paths, while credentials and OAuth tokens live under XDG data and state paths.
Why package nerds care
deck is a package-nerd-friendly productivity tool because it treats slide decks as editable, reproducible source material without asking users to abandon Google Slides as the rendering and collaboration surface. It also shows a modern Go CLI packaging pattern: Homebrew, `go install`, GitHub releases, and OS package artifacts.
