install

Clone

mkdir .ninja_tools && cd .ninja_tools
git clone git@github.com:KausthubK/gcloud_ninja.git

Change the first line to your instance name:

export GCI_INSTANCE='instance-name'

Modify ~/.zshrc

Open up ~/.zshrc in any editor of your choice

Add this line:

source ~/.ninja_tools/gcloud_ninja/gci.sh

Or add this line if you want to defensively check for it first:

filename=${HOME}/.ninja_tools/gcloud_ninja/gci.sh && if test -f $filename; then source $filename; else "nope - gcloud ninja doesn't exist"; fi

usage

gci-start - start an instance gci-connect - connect to an instance in a terminal gci-stop - stop an instance gci-get-ip - if you want to check what your current external IP is

Libraries

gci.sh

start stop and connect to an instance for ssh
will backup your previous ~/ssh/config to ~/.ssh/config.backup_UnixTimeSinceEpoch

SSH Key Agent forwarding

This tool forwards specific ssh keys for github as well:

ssh-add -L to list your keys ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/my_pvt_key to add your private key to the key agent (MacOS won't let this happen automatically so I add this to my ~/.zshrc ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 &> /dev/null)
