- Import photos captured on June 2019, while auto-generating albums:

`immich-go -server={{server_url}} -key={{server_key}} upload -create-albums -google-photos -date={{2019-06}} {{path/to/takeout_file.zip}}`

- Upload a takeout file using server and key from a config file:

`immich-go -use-configuration={{~/.immich-go/immich-go.json}} upload {{path/to/takeout_file.zip}}`
