The following is a list of the most-used commands that we can issue via gsutil:
- Creating a bucket named packt-gcp:
- gsutil mb gs://packt-gcp
-
Uploading a file to the bucket:
- gsutil cp gs://packt-gcp/
- Creating a subfolder in the bucket:
- gsutil cp your-file gs://packt-gcp/
- Listing the folder:
- gsutil ls gs://packt-gcp/
- Getting help on gsutil commands:
- gsutil help
- How much storage are we using (the -h makes it readable):
- gsutil du -h gs://packt-gcp/
- Copying a whole folder to a bucket:
- gsutil cp -r gs://packt-gcp/
For instance, I have a local ./img directory with some images. I can copy the whole directory and create the bucket subdirectory at the same time with the following command:
gsutil cp -r ./img ...
