.SH "DESCRIPTION"

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

.RS 2m
.IP "\(bu" 2m

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

gcloud 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 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 init\fR.
