Remote - Cloud Shell

Overview

Google Cloud Shell provides instant access to a Debian instance with 5GB of persistent storage and a variety of pre-installed tools.

Remote - Cloud Shell is a VS Code extension that enables users to connect to their Google Cloud Shell instance as their remote development environment. It generates SSH commands and configs and integrates these with Remote-SSH configuration.

Installation

1. Install the extension from the VS Code marketplace.
2. Ensure you have the Google Cloud SDK (gcloud) installed and authenticated.
3. Install the Remote - SSH extension, which this extension depends on.

Usage

1. Open VS Code.
2. Use the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) to run Remote-Cloud-Shell: Add ssh ssh host...
3. Copy the provided SSH command into the input box.
4. Run the Remote-SSH: Connect to Host command with your new Google Cloud Shell configuration.

Troubleshooting

If gcloud is not configured in your PATH environment variable, set the below user setting to the gcloud bin folder.

"remote-cloud-shell.gcloudPath": "/folder/that/contains/gcloud/tool"
