The maintained qjfoidnh repository describes itself as continuing from iikira/BaiduPCS-Go v3.6.2 and adding transfer/save support for shared links. ### Project history The README says BaiduPCS-Go was inspired by GangZhuo/BaiduPCS, then based on iikira/BaiduPCS-Go, and that this maintained version continues from iikira's original v3.6.2. The qjfoidnh GitHub repository was created on November 6, 2020. The project has had to track changing Baidu service behavior. Its README changelog includes repeated fixes for upload, download, rapid-transfer, and shared-link transfer behavior, including v4.0.0 in 2025 and v4.0.1 in 2026. ### Adoption history BaiduPCS-Go has a sizable niche audience for users who prefer scripting Baidu Network Disk operations from terminals and servers. GitHub reported 5,219 stars for qjfoidnh/BaiduPCS-Go, and the Homebrew formula API reported stable version 4.0.1 with 91 installs in the previous 30 days as of June 30, 2026. Package-manager coverage in the input includes Homebrew, Nix, Arch pacman, and winget, indicating cross-platform packaging beyond the upstream binary releases. ### How it is used The README organizes usage around login, account switching, listing remote directories, downloading, uploading, generating direct links, copying, moving, sharing, offline downloads, recycle-bin management, glob-style matching, and configuration commands. It is intended to feel like Linux shell file handling for Baidu Network Disk. ### Why package nerds care BaiduPCS-Go is a classic cloud-storage CLI package: it wraps a consumer service with a scriptable command surface, stores session/config state locally, and keeps chasing upstream API changes. That makes it useful to package nerds who automate backups, remote file movement, and headless server workflows around a service that otherwise favors GUI clients. ### Timeline - 2020-11-06: qjfoidnh/BaiduPCS-Go repository created. - 2021-2025: README changelog documents frequent fixes for Baidu upload/download and transfer behavior. - 2025-10-29: v4.0.0 released with upload policy changes and interface-change notes. - 2026-03-26: v4.0.1 released as an emergency fix for command parameter errors. ### Related projects - GangZhuo/BaiduPCS is cited by the README as an inspiration. - iikira/BaiduPCS-Go is cited by the README as the direct base for this maintained line. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
