GCP CLI Reference

Configure CLI SSO​

What you'll need​

  1. Install AWS CLI with the default options enabled (make sure 'Bundled Python' is enabled)

Setup​

  1. Run initial CLI init by running gcloud init from terminal (follow the configuration manual if needed). When prompted after signing in, choose 'backend-me-west1' as the default project
  2. Configure local default credentials by running gcloud auth application-default login from terminal (follow the configuration manual if needed)
Addition steps for Windows only​

To allow running local backend in docker against GCP backend a few additional steps are needed:

  • Move GCP CLI credentials folder from appdata to user dir, to align with paths on Mac and Linux: 
    setx CLOUDSDK_CONFIG "${env:HOME}${env:USERPROFILE}\.config\gcloud"
    mkdir $env:CLOUDSDK_CONFIG -Force
  • If GCP CLI was already authenticated before in the default path, force it to regenerate by running: 
    gcloud auth revoke --all
    gcloud auth login

    gcloud auth application-default revoke
    gcloud auth application-default login

Additional info​

After the initial setup, when needing to refresh credentials run the following commands:

gcloud auth login
gcloud auth application-default login

Note: both commands have to be run
