The ‘google-cloud-sdk’ snap includes three executables bq, gcloud, gsutil.

Requesting aliases for these executables.

+1 for all three aliases. None of which appear to be widely / commonly used.

I can confirm Will Faris works for Google on the Google Cloud SDK team. I met with him yesterday to discuss the creation of the google-cloud-sdk.

The aliases requested are the well documented tools from Google Cloud SDK.

  • bq does not exist as an executable in any package in the Xenial or Bionic archives.
  • gcloud does not exist as an executable in any package in the Xenial or Bionic archives.
  • gsutil is a package in Universe for Xenial and Bionic.
    • “configure and manage Grandstream BudgeTone 100 VOIP and GX2000 phones”

I think it is unlikely that users will have both the gsutil deb and google-cloud-sdk snap installed. For example, there are only 30 Debian users with the gsutil deb installed.

In conclusion, this is a +1 from me.

+1 from me as well. Only 4 days have passed for this request so need to wait the 7 days before tallying the votes.

Cool, I will keep an eye out and verify they are working then. (aliases not working now as expected).

3 votes for, 0 against. Granting use of the alias to the snap. This is now live.
