gcpath 0.2.1

A CLI utility to manage Google Cloud Platform resource hierarchy paths.

gcpath

gcpath is a CLI utility to manage Google Cloud Platform resource hierarchy paths. It helps you translate between GCP resource names (e.g., folders/12345) and human-readable paths (e.g., //example.com/department/team).

Features

• Recursive Listing: List all folders in your organization as paths.
• Path Resolution: Get the resource name (ID) for a given path.
• Reverse Lookup: Get the path for a given resource name (ID).
• Tree Visualization: View your hierarchy as a tree with depth limits.
• Dual Mode:
  • Cloud Asset API (Default): Fast, bulk loading using GCP Cloud Asset Inventory.
  • Resource Manager API: Iterative loading using standard Resource Manager API (slower, but different permissions).

Quick Start

After installation, ensure you are authenticated with Google Cloud and have the necessary permissions.

# List all resources
gcpath ls

# List children of a specific folder
gcpath ls folders/123456789

# Find ID of a specific path
gcpath name //example.com/engineering

# Find path of a specific resource ID
gcpath path folders/123456789

# View tree rooted at organization
gcpath tree

# View tree rooted at folder
gcpath tree folders/123456789

Usage

List Resources (ls)

List folders and projects. Defaults to the organization root.

gcpath ls [RESOURCE_NAME]

Options:

• -l, --long: Show resource IDs and numbers (for projects).
• -R, --recursive: List resources recursively.

Examples:

# List all organizations and their top-level children
gcpath ls

# List all contents of an organization recursively
gcpath ls -R

# List children of a specific folder
gcpath ls folders/123456789

Tree View (tree)

Visualize the resource hierarchy in a tree format.

gcpath tree [RESOURCE_NAME]

Options:

• -L, --level N: Limit depth of the tree (max 3).
• -i, --ids: Include resource IDs in the output.

Get Resource Name (name)

Get the GCP resource name (e.g., folders/123) from a path:

gcpath name //example.com/engineering/backend

To get just the ID:

gcpath name --id //example.com/engineering/backend

Get Path (path)

Get the path from a resource name:

gcpath path folders/987654321

Authentication

gcpath uses Google Cloud Application Default Credentials (ADC).

1. Install gcloud CLI.
2. Authenticate:

   gcloud auth application-default login
   

Permissions

• Cloud Asset API: cloudasset.assets.searchAllResources on the Organization.
• Resource Manager API: resourcemanager.folders.list and resourcemanager.projects.get.
