gcloud config command [options]

gcloud config manages persistent configuration properties for the gcloud command-line tool. Properties set through this command become defaults used by all gcloud commands unless explicitly overridden with command-line flags.
Common properties include the default project, Compute Engine region and zone, and active account. These eliminate the need to specify frequently-used values on every command, significantly reducing command verbosity for regular workflows.
Named configurations enable managing multiple independent sets of properties, making it easy to switch between different projects, accounts, or environments. Each configuration is a complete set of property values that can be activated with a single command. This is essential for developers working across multiple GCP projects or organizations, as it prevents accidentally running commands in the wrong project context.
