gcloud feedback [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...
    The gcloud feedback command does not have its own specific flags. However, like all gcloud commands, it supports gcloud wide flags that control global behaviors such as authentication, project selection, logging, and verbosity. These flags are applied to the overarching gcloud command invocation and affect its execution environment.

--help
    Displays detailed help for the gcloud feedback command itself, including its synopsis and description.

--verbosity=
    Sets the log verbosity level for the gcloud command's execution. Common levels include debug, info, warning, error, and critical. This can affect any console output generated before the browser opens.

--quiet
    Suppresses all interactive prompts. If any value is required, it must be provided via a flag or configuration. While gcloud feedback is typically non-interactive, this flag ensures no unexpected prompts during its execution.

The gcloud feedback command provides a convenient and direct channel for users to share their experiences and insights regarding the Google Cloud Command-Line Interface (CLI). When invoked, this command automatically launches your default web browser and navigates to a specific, dedicated feedback form hosted by Google Cloud. This mechanism is designed to simplify the process of communicating directly with the Google Cloud development team.

Users can leverage this command to report encountered bugs, suggest new features or enhancements they would like to see, or provide general comments and observations about the CLI's usability, performance, or documentation. It serves as a critical bridge for user-driven improvements, ensuring that the feedback from the global user base can be collected efficiently and considered for future updates and refinements to the gcloud toolset. It eliminates the need to manually search for a feedback portal, streamlining the process of contributing to the evolution of the Google Cloud CLI.

Requires an active internet connection to access the feedback form hosted by Google.
A functional web browser must be installed and configured as the default browser on your operating system for the command to successfully open the feedback form.
The exact feedback URL may change over time, but the command should always point to the current form.

The command's primary function is to launch your default web browser and navigate to the Google Cloud CLI feedback form. It does not perform any direct data submission from the command line itself; instead, it relies entirely on the user to complete and submit the form within the opened browser window. This ensures that user privacy and data submission are handled securely through standard web protocols.

The gcloud feedback command has been an integral part of the Google Cloud CLI since its early development. It was introduced to provide a direct and accessible channel for user feedback, emphasizing Google's commitment to user-driven improvements and responsiveness in the continuous development of its cloud tools. This command reflects a design philosophy focused on empowering users to contribute to the CLI's evolution.
