gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh [--authorize-session] [--command=COMMAND] [--dry-run] [--force-key-file-overwrite] [--ssh-flag=SSH_FLAG] [--ssh-key-file] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] [-- SSH_ARGS ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh lets you remotely log in to Cloud Shell. If your Cloud Shell is not currently running, this will cause it to be started before establishing the SSH session.
To SSH into your Cloud Shell, run:
$ gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh
To run a remote command in your Cloud Shell, run:
$ gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh --command=ls
- [-- SSH_ARGS ...]
Flags and positionals passed to the underlying ssh implementation.
The '--' argument must be specified between gcloud specific args on the left and SSH_ARGS on the right. Example:
$ gcloud alpha cloud-shell ssh -- -vvv
- --authorize-session
If provided, sends OAuth credentials to the current Cloud Shell session on behalf of the user. When this completes, the session will be authorized to run various Google Cloud command-line tools without requiring the user to manually authenticate.
- --command=COMMAND
A command to run in Cloud Shell.
Runs the command in Cloud Shell and then exits.
- --dry-run
If provided, prints the command that would be run to standard out instead of executing it.
- --force-key-file-overwrite
If enabled gcloud will regenerate and overwrite the files associated with a broken SSH key without asking for confirmation in both interactive and non-interactive environment.
If disabled gcloud will not attempt to regenerate the files associated with a broken SSH key and fail in both interactive and non-interactive environment.
- --ssh-flag=SSH_FLAG
Additional flags to be passed to ssh(1).
- --ssh-key-file
The path to the SSH key file. By default, this is ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine.
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud cloud-shell ssh
$ gcloud beta cloud-shell ssh
