Group E: Google Cloud SDK (gcloud)

[thompsonson]

Standalone, cross-platform, default on. No data flag — if you apply these dotfiles you probably want gcloud.

Changes

$macosSpecific

Add:

google-cloud-sdk       # brew cask

(brew installs it as a cask; ensure the install script's cask handling path covers it.)

Linux: new run_onchange_install-gcloud-repo.sh.tmpl

Runs before the main apt install so google-cloud-cli is available to apt:

# Add Google Cloud SDK apt source + keyring (idempotent)
if [ ! -f /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list ]; then
  sudo install -d -m 0755 /usr/share/keyrings
  curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg \
    | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg
  echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/cloud.google.gpg] https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt cloud-sdk main" \
    | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
  sudo apt-get update
fi

$linuxSpecific / $linuxWithDocker / $linuxWithoutDocker

Add google-cloud-cli.

dot_zshrc

gcloud's apt and brew installs both configure PATH + completions automatically. Nothing needed in zshrc unless we want to explicitly source the completion file — probably not necessary.

dot_local/bin/executable_sysup — doctor entries

• tools_pm: add gcloud.
• get_version(): case for gcloud --version | head -1.

Verification checklist

• chezmoi execute-template renders cleanly on both platforms.
• chezmoi apply --dry-run on a fresh Ubuntu/Pop VM shows the Google apt repo being added before apt-get install google-cloud-cli.
• sysup doctor shows gcloud with version after apply.
• Re-apply is a no-op (repo file already present → source-add script skips).
• macOS: brew list --cask google-cloud-sdk shows installed after apply.

Explicit non-goals

• No gcloud auth scaffolding — that's per-user/per-project, not dotfiles territory.
• No opt-out flag. If machines turn up that shouldn't have gcloud, we'll add install_gcloud=true then, not pre-emptively.

Related

• None — standalone.
