How to change the project in GCP using CLI commands

Question

How can I switch the active project in my GCP (Google Cloud Platform) account to a different project using cli commands rather than manually doing gcloud init?

The projects that are active on my account are listed in the gcloud projects list. I want to use a cli command to switch the active project to any other project in the list.

Answer 1

gcloud config set project $MY_PROJECT_ID

#=>

Updated property [core/project].

You may also set the environment variable $CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT
