如何从 App Engine 中的云 shell 部署 GCS 中我的应用程序存储桶中的文件？

Question

I am trying to create my first php app using GCS.

I have placed all my php app files in the bucket (including my.yaml file) created by the app engine, but I am struggling to access the files to deploy the app using the cloud shell in app engine?

If I has them stored in git I would have used the clone commands but would assume that this would have placed the files in the same bucket that I have manually uploaded the files to through the bucket browser?!

I either cant find the correct file path as the buckets do not appear to be part of my /home/username directory or I am missing a key link like an API to the cloud storage service (GSUtil?).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You shouldn't be manually placing any files into the (app's staging) GCS bucket yourself to deploy an app to app engine.

Instead, place the files (including your app.yaml ) in a working directory on your machine (or cloud shell), then use the gcloud app deploy command to deploy them. You can see an example of how to deploy a PHP app here . The gcloud app deploy command is going to look for the source files on the local filesystem.

Note that using git isn't a requirement (though using some form of source control is always a good development practice), it is just the way the files are copied onto the local machine in this example.

(Likewise -- GCS buckets won't show up in the cloud shell filesystem -- GCS is a blob storage service not a normal filesystem, so you would need to use a tool like gsutil or the GCS API to access it).
