An Alfred workflow that lets you instantly open Google Cloud services or search GCP resources—fast, simple, and right from your Alfred.

This is actually amazing. I wish there was something similar that for windows's keypirinha[1].
specifically would be interesting to have something like that for k8s resources.
Thank you for the feedback!
Hopefully, someone will do it, or perhaps you can try replicating the same approach for Keypirinha.
Anyone know if something similar exists for raycast?
This is really cool, one thing that would make it much more useful for me is to have the ability to easily select which project you want to use, especially if it could have the same fuzzy search as resources. My company has hundreds of GCP projects. At the moment it seems like I'd have to set up individual configurations for each project.
Both of them are already supported. To select the project you can type @ and it will show you the list of available project. The fuzzy search is also already supported.
@ seems to show a list of configurations, not GCP projects
Yeah my bad. @ will show configurations. So you can set up your configurations to point a specific project(gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID) and then when you use @ and select a specific config and access the resources the project is auto applied to the urls and for resource searches as well
Nice. Looks awesome. I had been thinking of building something similar for AWS. Definitely gonna reference some of the source to build that. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback.
Actually, for AWS[0], it's already there. Being a prior user of it, that's where I got the idea to build for GCP after shifting to GCP.
You may want to consider adding new features to it or exploring the option of building for Azure. I'm pretty sure it's not currently available for Azure.

What is Alfred?
Alfred is a Spotlight replacement for macOS. https://www.alfredapp.com/
You can build any workflow based on your use case, and you can execute those right from your keyboard. Workflows are limited only by your imagination, like turning off Bluetooth, killing a process, emptying trash, and much more, just from a few keyboard strokes.
For example, this workflow allows you to open a specific service or resource page in the GCP console directly from the keyboard, eliminating the need to navigate to Google Cloud, search for the desired page, and then open it, which can be a time-consuming process. Also, lets you avoid the mouse altogether.
It’s also some of the most fantastically fast, stable, and efficient software I’ve used on any platform. It takes up almost no space on disk, takes very little memory, and doesn’t waste cycles doing mysterious somethings in the background. Just great all around.
Quicksilver [0] and Alfred [1] are versatile search/launchers for macOS, combining aspects of Spotlight, Launchpad, Finder, and a CLI. You hit a trigger key combination, and you're presented with an app that can interact via keystrokes (generally not mouse actions) with all your other apps and docs, contacts, photos, music, clipboard history, etc. These can involve plugins and workflows that manipulate text, create calendar events or reminders, etc.

I always do a double take when I see the term QuckSilver[2].... the dBase III compiler from the 80s.
Oh this is really nice! Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. It does mean a lot.
