cloudshell gives you access to the Google Cloud Shell from your terminal.

It's like gcloud alpha cloud-shell, but simpler and packed into a single binary.

Installation

1. Install Go 1.15 if you haven't yet.

2. Two installation options are supported:

   • Install with go get:

      $ pushd $(mktemp -d); go mod init tmp; go get github.com/astrophena/cloudshell; popd
     

     go get puts binaries by default to $GOPATH/bin (e.g. ~/go/bin).

     Use GOBIN environment variable to change this behavior.

   • Install with make:

      $ git clone https://github.com/astrophena/cloudshell
      $ cd cloudshell
      $ make install
     

     make install installs cloudshell by default to $HOME/bin.

     Use PREFIX environment variable to change this behavior:

      $ make install PREFIX="$HOME/.local" # Installs to $HOME/.local/bin.
     

Setup

• Create a project in the Google API Console.
• Enable the Cloud Shell API.
• Create credentials, download and place them to:
  • $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cloudshell/client_secrets.json (Linux)
  • $HOME/Library/Application Support/cloudshell/client_secrets.json (macOS)
• Run any command (e.g. cloudshell info) to authenticate.
• Add your SSH key by running cloudshell key add.
• Try to connect: cloudshell connect.
