GCLOUD INIT(1) GCLOUD INIT(1)NAMEgcloud_init - create and initialize a gcloud workspace in the current
directory
SYNOPSIS
gcloud init PROJECT [--format FORMAT] [--help] [--project PROJECT_ID]
[--quiet, -q] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
This command is creates and initializes a local workspace for a Google
Cloud Platform project.
The local workspace is indicated by the creation of a [.gcloud] folder.
In this folder is a file [properties] which allows you to override any
global properties you may have set via the $ gcloud config command.
When you run a Cloud SDK command-line tool from within this new
workspace, it will use the new [properties] file as the first place to
load properties. As a result, if you use gcloud, gcutil, gsutil, or any
of the other commands in google-cloud-sdk/bin from within the
workspace, they will connect to the correct project.
If you have enabled push-to-deploy in the Cloud Console, one of the
things that gcloud init will do for you is cloning the Google-hosted
git repository associated with PROJECT. This repository will
automatically be connected to Google, and it will use the credentials
indicated as active by gcloud auth list. Pushing to the origin’s master
branch will trigger an App Engine deployment using the contents of that
branch.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
PROJECT
The name of the Google Cloud Platform project that you want to use
in a local workspace that will be created by this command. If this
project has an associated Google-hosted git repository, that
repository will be cloned into the local workspace.
FLAGS--format FORMAT
Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific
human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of
the available options will serialize the result of the command in
the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are:
json, text, yaml.
--help
Display detailed help.
--project PROJECT_ID
The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation.
If omitted then the current project is assumed.
--quiet, -q
Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If
input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be
raised.
-h
Print a summary help and exit.
EXAMPLES
To perform a simple "Hello, world!" App Engine deployment with this
command, run the following command lines with MYPROJECT replaced by a
project you own and can use for this experiment.
$ gcloud auth login
$ gcloud init MYPROJECT
$ cd MYPROJECT/default
$ git pull
https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/appengine-helloworld-python
$ git push origin master
NOTES
This command is in the Google Cloud SDK core component. See installing
