The empty Gitpod environment does not have gcloud command to interact with Google Cloud. So we need to install it by ourselves.

In the previous article Temporarily activate gcloud configurations with CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME, I explained how we can temporarily activate the gcloud configurations. In this post, I will enhance this with fzf for the interactive search.

Note that I’m using 🐟 fish shell.

You can use CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME to switch between multiple configurations temporarily.
