gcloud beta help - search gcloud help text

gcloud beta help [COMMAND …] [--filter=EXPRESSION] [--limit=LIMIT; default=5] [--page-size=PAGE_SIZE] [--sort-by=[FIELD,…]; default="~relevance"] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …] [-- SEARCH_TERMS …]

Otherwise, gcloud beta help runs a search for all commands with help text matching the given argument or arguments. It prints the command name and a summary of the help text for any command that it finds as a result.

To run a search directly, you can use remainder arguments, following a --.

By default, command results are displayed in a table that shows the name of the command and snippets of the help text that relate to your search terms.

By default, search results are sorted from most to least relevant by default, using a localized rating based on several heuristics. These heuristics may change in future runs of this command.

gcloud beta help projects describe

To search for all commands whose help text contains the word project, run:

gcloud beta help -- project

To search for commands whose help text contains the word project and the string --foo, run:

gcloud beta help -- project --foo

To search and receive more than the default limit of 5 search results, run:

gcloud beta help --limit=20 -- project

To search for a term and sort the results by a different characteristic, such as command name, run:

gcloud beta help --sort-by=name -- project

[COMMAND …]

Sequence of names representing a gcloud group or command name.

If the arguments provide the name of a gcloud command, the full help text of that command will be displayed. Otherwise, all arguments will be considered search terms and used to search through all of gcloud's help text.

[-- SEARCH_TERMS …]

Search terms. The command will return a list of gcloud commands that are relevant to the searched term. If this argument is provided, the command will always return a list of search results rather than displaying help text of a single command.

For example, to search for commands that relate to the term project or folder, run:

gcloud beta help -- project folder

The '--' argument must be specified between gcloud specific args on the left and SEARCH_TERMS on the right.

--filter=EXPRESSION

Apply a Boolean filter EXPRESSION to each resource item to be listed. If the expression evaluates True, then that item is listed. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

--limit=LIMIT; default=5

Maximum number of resources to list. The default is 5. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.

--page-size=PAGE_SIZE

Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies the maximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the service if it supports paging, otherwise it is unlimited (no paging). Paging may be applied before or after --filter and --limit depending on the service.

--sort-by=[FIELD,…]; default="~relevance"

Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default order is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on that field. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit. The default is ~relevance.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
