  Description     : is a GUI wrapper around the already existing youtube-dl

Gydl (Graphical Youtube-dl) it's developed with a dialog driven experience
 in mind. This provides a quick and easy video or audio downloads
 without disturbances. Big thank you to the developer(s) of youtube-dl!

I suggest you rethink whether it's worth uploading it. The project
webpage states:

    Fellow users,

    Gydl is currently in a state where it is not worth enhancing/developing it in any way.

    I currently don't have the resources to develop Gydl myself - thus
    the amount of open issues.

    I plan on keeping Gydl stable for how it currently is/works and
    rewrite it completely in about half a year at the latest.

And yes, the Git repository has not had any activity for almost three
years. There are other youtube-dl wrappers already in the project, and
the UI does not look too different, for example, from the one provided
by youtubedl-gui.

Greetings,
