Created [account1].
Activated [account1].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set project hoge-fuga-123
Updated property [core/project].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set account sample@account1.sample
Updated property [core/account].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP 2. create configuration set for account2

% gcloud config configurations create account2

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set project hoge-fuga-456
Updated property [core/project].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP 3. switch to account1 and check config
