GCLOUD COMPUTE CONFIG-SSH(1)			  GCLOUD COMPUTE CONFIG-SSH(1)

NAME
       gcloud_compute_config-ssh - populate SSH config files with Host entries
	      from each instance

SYNOPSIS
       gcloud compute config-ssh [--dry-run] [--format FORMAT] [--help]
	      [--project PROJECT_ID] [--quiet, -q] [--remove]
	      [--ssh-config-file SSH_CONFIG_FILE]
	      [--ssh-key-file SSH_KEY_FILE] [-h]

DESCRIPTION
       gcloud compute config-ssh makes SSHing to virtual machine instances
       easier by adding an alias for each instance to the user SSH
       configuration (~/.ssh/config) file.

       In most cases, it is sufficient to run:

	   $ gcloud compute config-ssh

       Each instance will be given an alias of the form NAME.ZONE.PROJECT. For
       example, if example-instance resides in us-central1-a, you can SSH to
       it by running:

	   $ ssh example-instance.us-central1-a.MY-PROJECT

       On some platforms, the host alias can be tab-completed, making the long
       alias less daunting to type.

       The aliases created interface with SSH-based programs like scp(1), so
       it is possible to use the aliases elsewhere:

	   $ scp ~/MY-FILE example-instance.us-central1-a.MY-PROJECT:~

       Whenever instances are added, removed, or their external IP addresses
       are changed, this command should be re-executed to update the
       configuration.

FLAGS
       --dry-run
	   If provided, the proposed changes to the SSH config file are
	   printed to standard out and no actual changes are made.

       --remove
	   If provided, any changes made to the SSH config file by this tool
	   are reverted.

       --ssh-config-file SSH_CONFIG_FILE
	   Specifies an alternative per-user SSH configuration file. By
	   default, this is ~/.ssh/config.

       --ssh-key-file SSH_KEY_FILE
	   The path to the SSH key file. By default, this is
	   ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine.

   GLOBAL FLAGS
       --format FORMAT
	   Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific
	   human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of
	   the available options will serialize the result of the command in
	   the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are:
	   json, text, yaml.

       --help
	   Display detailed help.

       --project PROJECT_ID
	   The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation.
	   If omitted then the current project is assumed.

       --quiet, -q
	   Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If
	   input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be
	   raised.

       -h
	   Print a summary help and exit.

NOTES
       This command is in the Google Cloud SDK compute component. See
       installing components if it is not installed.
