Project Initialization and Push-to-Deploy
Every new project created on Google Developers Console now comes with a free private Git repository, where you can store your source code and use it for your App Engine app deployments via push-to-deploy.

To quickly initialize your local environment, run cloud init project-id

. This command will set-up the version control system, clone the source code onto your machine and will set-up push-to-deploy, all in one command. Here’s a workflow example:

Create “my-awesome-app” application in Google Developers Console.

Install Cloud SDK and run gcloud init my-awesome-app.

Change directory to my-awesome-app/default and add some code. (Have a look at some sample projects if you need inspiration.)

Commit the code by running git commit -a -m “First commit for my awesome app” and deploy it by running git push origin master.

Your app should now be serving live at https://my-awesome-app.appspot.com!
