gcloud alpha auth configure-docker - register gcloud as a Docker credential helper
gcloud alpha auth configure-docker [REGISTRIES] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha auth configure-docker adds the Docker credHelper entry to Docker's configuration file, or creates the file if it doesn't exist. This will register gcloud as the credential helper for all Google-supported Docker registries. If the Docker configuration already contains a credHelper entry, it will be overwritten.
Note: docker and gcloud need to be on the same system PATH to work correctly.
Note: This command will not work for docker installed via Snap, as the docker snap package does not currently provide an interface for credential helpers.
