gcloud: Set the active project.

gcloud

$ gcloud config set project ${project_name}

try on your machine

This command is used in the Google Cloud Platform (gcloud) command-line tool to set the default project for your current configuration. The ${project_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the project you want to set as the default.

By running this command, you are instructing gcloud to use the specified project as the default for subsequent commands. This means that you don't need to specify the project name every time you run a gcloud command that requires a project context, as it will automatically use the default project you have set.

For example, if you run the command gcloud config set project my-project, it will set the project named "my-project" as the default project. From then on, whenever you run other gcloud commands that require a project, they will use "my-project" by default unless you explicitly provide a different project name.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
