# Cloud Shell documentation

[Read product documentation](https://docs.cloud.google.com/shell/docs/how-cloud-shell-works)
Cloud Shell is an interactive shell environment for Google Cloud
that lets you learn and experiment with Google Cloud and manage your projects and
resources from your web browser.


With Cloud Shell, the [Google Cloud CLI](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud) and other
utilities you need are pre-installed, fully authenticated, up-to-date, and always available when
you need them. Cloud Shell comes with a built-in code editor with an integrated
Cloud Code experience, allowing you to develop, build, debug, and deploy your
cloud-based apps entirely in the cloud. You can also launch interactive tutorials, open cloned
repositories, and preview web apps on a Cloud Shell virtual machine instance.
