gsutil: Create a new bucket in the project you are logged into.
$ gsutil mb gs://${bucket_name}
try on your machine

This command is using the "gsutil" tool, which is a command-line interface for interacting with Google Cloud Storage. The specific command "mb" stands for "make bucket", and it is used to create buckets in Google Cloud Storage.

The command takes the path of the bucket to be created as an argument. In this case, the path is "gs://${bucket_name}". Here, "${bucket_name}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the bucket you want to create.

To create a bucket, you need to have the appropriate permissions and authentication with your Google Cloud Storage account. Once the command is executed successfully, it will create a new bucket in your Google Cloud Storage account with the specified name.
