Google Cloud Shell documentation

Google Cloud Shell is an interactive shell environment for Google Cloud Platform that makes it easy for you to learn and experiment with GCP and manage your projects and resources from your web browser.

With Cloud Shell, the Cloud SDK gcloud command-line tool and other utilities you need are pre-installed, fully authenticated, up-to-date, and always available when you need them. Additionally, Cloud Shell comes with a built-in code editor, the ability to launch tutorials and open cloned repositories, and preview functionality to temporarily run web apps on a Cloud Shell virtual machine instance, and more.
