How to mount a GCP compute instance filesystem locally using sshfs

This guide assumes that:

• you already have an instance set up on GCP that you want to mount locally
• the GCP CLI (gcloud) is installed on your local machine
• you have authenticated locally to your google account gcloud auth login

1. make sure your gcloud config is correct for the instance you're trying to access:

# ag <https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher>
# usage: ag-replace.sh [search] [replace]
# caveats: will choke if either arguments contain a forward slash
# notes: will back up changed files to *.bak files

ag -0 -l $1 | xargs -0 perl -pi.bak -e "s/$1/$2/g"

# or if you prefer sed's regex syntax:

ag -0 -l $1 | xargs -0 sed -ri.bak -e "s/$1/$2/g"
