Google Cloud Storage support

[jtascensao]

Hi guys! I'm wondering if you guys have any plans to add Google Cloud Storage support, in a similar way to what you already do with S3 and AWS.

That would be extremely helpful!

@jtascensao would be interested in this as well. We work on Google Cloud platform, where every project has a separate:

• Cloud Storage bucket
• Bigquery dataset

I think it is a matter of modifying cookiecutter.json, perhaps with some additional logic if AWS then AWS options and similiar for if GCP.

If anyone can point me in the right direction as to which solution is best (quite new to cookiecutter), I can make a PR for this issue.

Where are we with this issue? I'd love to pick it up - I want to adopt cookiecutter for my DS team, but we use GCP in our org.

@coleholcomb It's implemented in v2 (#246), which is coming later this year. The only change is in the Makefile for syncing data from the cloud with gsutil:

@pjbull got it, will look forward to v2 then, thanks

[xzenggit]

Just curious. When will v2 be released?

Any update on this?

@cristianmtr For information on progress on v2, see the branch tracking the overall work. It also has instructions for how to switch over to using v2 as a beta tester, which would be helpful!
