Your active configuration is: [defau         


        

Answer 1

The easiest way to do this is to use the --format flag on gcloud.

gcloud config list --format 'value(core.project)' 2>/dev/null

The --format flag is available on all commands and gives you full control over what is printed, and how it is formatted.
