It allows you to specify GCS paths directly in your Snakemake rules, with the plugin handling authentication, file transfer, and metadata operations transparently. The plugin depends on google-cloud-storage for GCS API access, google-crc32c for integrity checking, and Snakemake's plugin interface libraries.\n\nWhen your workflow references a GCS path, the plugin intercepts that reference and manages the actual read/write operations. This eliminates the need to manually download files to local disk or manage credentials in your workflow code, making it useful for workflows that process data already stored in Google Cloud.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use Snakemake and need to work with Google Cloud Storage. Low install friction, permissive MIT license, and no known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. The aging maintenance status is a minor concern given the narrow plugin scope and active repository, but verify compatibility with your specific Snakemake version before production use."},"id":"snakemake-storage-plugin-gcs","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakemake-storage-plugin-gcs","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/snakemake-storage-plugin-gcs.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/snakemake-storage-plugin-gcs/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"snakemake-storage-plugin-gcs","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Snakemake storage plugin for Google Cloud Storage"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":653215,"position":5536,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.4"}
