.SH "DESCRIPTION"

workflow for the gcloud command\-line tool. It performs the following setup
steps:

.RS 2m

account credentials, or from an account of your choosing whose credentials are
already available.

gcloud preview init can be used for initial setup of gcloud and to create new or
reinitialize gcloud configurations. More information about configurations can be
found by running \f5gcloud topic configurations\fR.

Properties set by gcloud preview init are local and persistent, and are not
affected by remote changes to the project. For example, the default Compute
Engine zone in your configuration remains stable, even if you or another user
changes the project\-level default zone in the Cloud Platform Console.

To sync the configuration, re\-run \f5gcloud preview init\fR.
