gcloud alpha init

NAME
gcloud alpha init - initialize or reinitialize gcloud
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha init [--no-browser] [--console-only, --no-launch-browser] [--skip-diagnostics] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha init launches an interactive Getting Started workflow for the gcloud command-line tool. It performs the following setup steps:
  • Authorizes gcloud and other SDK tools to access Google Cloud using your user account credentials, or from an account of your choosing whose credentials are already available.
  • Sets up a new or existing configuration.
  • Sets properties in that configuration, including the current project and optionally, the default Google Compute Engine region and zone you'd like to use.

gcloud alpha init can be used for initial setup of gcloud and to create new or reinitialize gcloud configurations. More information about configurations can be found by running gcloud topic configurations.

Properties set by gcloud alpha init are local and persistent, and are not affected by remote changes to the project. For example, the default Compute Engine zone in your configuration remains stable, even if you or another user changes the project-level default zone in the Cloud Platform Console.

To sync the configuration, re-run gcloud alpha init.

EXAMPLES
To launch an interactive Getting Started workflow, run:
gcloud alpha init

To launch an interactive Getting Started workflow without diagnostics, run:

gcloud alpha init --skip-diagnostics

NOTES

gcloud init
gcloud beta init
