gcloud alpha emulators pubsub env-init - print the commands required to export pubsub emulator's env variables
gcloud alpha emulators pubsub env-init [--data-dir=DATA_DIR] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) After starting the emulator, you need to set environment variables so that your application connects to the emulator instead of the production environment. Environment variables need to be set each time you start the emulator. The environment variables depend on dynamically assigned port numbers that could change when you restart the emulator.
To print the env variables exports for a pubsub emulator, run:
$ gcloud alpha emulators pubsub env-init --data-dir=DATA-DIR
For a detailed walkthrough of setting Pub/Sub emulator environment variables, see https://cloud.google.com/pubsub/docs/emulator#env.
- --data-dir=DATA_DIR

$ gcloud info --format='get(config.paths.global_config_dir)'
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.
