How to use Google Cloud Shell with the new Windows Terminal

I just want to SSH into my compute instances using a profile in the new Windows Terminal app.

Solution

  • Nvm, I found out you can add a commandline argument to the profiles section. For anybody else trying to figure this out:

    {
       "guid": "{*add_a_guid*}",
       "name": "Google Cloud Shell",
       "commandline": "ssh -i *path_to_ssh_key* *username*@*ip_address*",
       "icon": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Cloud SDK\\cloud_platform_logo.ico",
       "hidden": false
}

    You can generate a guid in PowerShell using this command:

    [guid]::NewGuid()
