SSH into Google Cloud Instance
Assuming you have an SSH client installed on your workstation, the first step is to connect to the instance.

Assuming the instance is running on port 22, you can use the following command to connect:

ssh -p 22 google@your-instance-IP

Once connected, you will be prompted for your Google account credentials. After logging in, you will be presented with the instance’s command line.

One common task on Google Cloud instances is to deploy applications. To do this, you can use the following command to create a new project:

git init

This will create a new project in the current directory. You can then use the following commands to start the development environment and deploy the project:

PRO TIP: When SSH’ing into a Google cloud instance, be aware that you will be prompted for a username and password. The username will be your Google account email address, and the password will be your Google account password.

cd project

git add .

git commit -m “Added project files”

git push

If everything went well, you will now see the project on the instance’s web console. To access the instance’s web console, you can use the following command:

https://your-instance-IP:8080/

You can now use the Google Cloud Platform Console to manage your project.
