This page describes how to get started with the
[Google Cloud CLI](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs.md.txt)
so you can use it to manage Database Migration Service connection profiles and migration jobs.

The Google Cloud CLI
provides the Google Cloud CLI to interact with
Database Migration Service and other Google Cloud services. The gcloud CLI
uses the API to access Database Migration Service, so you must enable the API before you
can use the tool.

## Get started with the Google Cloud CLI

To start with the gcloud CLI, review the
[Google Cloud CLI Documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs.md.txt).
You can get help for the tool, resources, and
commands by using the `--help` flag:

```bash
gcloud database-migration --help
gcloud database-migration connection-profiles create --help
gcloud database-migration migration-jobs promote --help
```


Finally, configure a project as your default project with
two commands. The first command lists the
configuration for the gcloud CLI, including any default project
already set. The second command sets the default project.

```bash
gcloud config list
gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]
```
