Here are easy steps to make it portable with msys64 on windows.
install Google Cloud
Follow this quickstart and download from link.
It will be installed to,
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Google\Cloud SDK
copy it to portable folder,
C:\oldhorse\portableapps\gcsdk
You can uninstall Cloud SDK or leave as backup.
portable gcloud
add below lines to profile or like me add to /etc/profile.d/portabledevops.sh (refer portabledevops).
# gcloud sdk
if [ -d $PORTABLEPATH/gcsdk ]; then
export PATH=$PORTABLEPATH/gcsdk/google-cloud-sdk/bin:$PATH
export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON=$PORTABLEPATH/gcsdk/google-cloud-sdk/platform/bundledpython/python
fi
verify portable gcloud
Will find 2 instances of gcloud, but portable one is first one,
$ which -a gcloud /C/oldhorse/portableapps/gcsdk/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud /c/Users/oldhorse/AppData/Local/Google/Cloud SDK/google-cloud-sdk/bin/gcloud
gcloud init
We need to init gcloud configuration on msys64,
$ gcloud init Welcome! This command will take you through the configuration of gcloud.
