Starting a Terminal Session

Learn how to start a terminal session from within Code Editor.

You can open a Cloud Shell terminal session from within Code Editor in two ways:
  • By selecting Terminal from the main Code Editor menu. This will open a Cloud Shell terminal session in your home directory.
  • By right-clicking on a folder or a file inside a folder in the Side Bar and selecting Open In Terminal from the pop-up menu. This will open a Cloud Shell terminal session with that folder as the current working directory.
