I recently started using Google Cloud Storage. Initially I created a dummy project while installing the Cloud SDK. Now I am working on another project. The gsutil is still pointing to my previous project. How do I make it point to my new project??

P.S. I know there is an option of using -p argument, but this does not work on all commands.

To change the default project that gcloud (and gsutil) use in a gcloud installation, you should do this:

gcloud config set project desired-project-id-here

You can view your current settings with gcloud config list.

You can view all configurations available with gcloud config configurations list.

You can then switch to an alternate configuration with gcloud config configurations activate [NAME]
