Use Cloud Source Repositories in Cloud Code for IntelliJ

Through Cloud Code, you can add new projects to Cloud Source Repositories and check out existing projects.

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Roles required to select or create a project

    • Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific IAM role—you can select any project that you've been granted a role on.
    • Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant roles.

    Go to project selector

  3. Verify that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  4. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

Upload source code

Upload your code to Cloud Source Repositories from Cloud Code:

  2. Click VCS > Upload to Cloud Source Repositories. Alternatively, in the menu, navigate to Tools > Google Cloud Code > Upload to Cloud Source Repositories.

  3. In the dialog, use the drop down menu to select the Cloud Project associated with your project.

    1. If you don't have a repository, or if you want to create a new one, click Create a new cloud repository.

      Cloud Code opens a new browser window to the Google Cloud console so that you can create the new repository.
