Can I use gcloud in Git Bash for Windows?

Question

So, I installed Git, Git Bash, Python2.7, and I just installed the Google Cloud SDK for the official guide. Using Windows 10

In cmd.exe or in the Google Cloud SDK shell, gcloud working fine.

Inside Git Bash, however (the terminal I prefer to use), gcloud returns the following output (screenshot).

echo $PATH in Git Bash includes the path to the Google SDK (highlighted here).

Am I missing something? Is there anything in $ PATH that might be against gcloud, or have I somehow distorted the path?

I appreciate any insight.

UPDATE Here is the result of env|grep PATH . I'm not sure what this tells me. Any other executable in PATH works (tramp, cond, python, etc.), but gcloud does not.

Answer 1

You need to use the full file name, i.e. gcloud.sh or gcloud.cmd. For more information, see the following question:

Git Bash Doesn't See My PATH

Answer 2

Create ~/.bashrc using the same line:

 alias gcloud="gcloud.cmd" 

and restart the shell session. What is it.

Answer 3

Place the following in the .bashrc file, which should be located in the C: \ Users \ YourWindowsAccount folder:

 gcloud() { "gcloud.cmd" " $@ " } export -f gcloud

Restart Git Bash after that.

This solution is better than using aliases, as it also allows you to call gcloud from a shell script.
