Add a project alias to firebase project

When you select a Firebase project during project initialization, the project is automatically assigned the alias of default. However, to allow project-specific commands to run against a different Firebase project but still use the same project directory, run the following command from within your project directory:

firebase use --add

And by running firebase use [project_id] you can toggle between different environment(projects).

Well this is supper handy to switch between different environments but also supper easy to deploy development code into production env ;), Let's set up shell prompt to display us the current env on the famous Powerlevel10k theme.

Here is the link for how to install Powerlevel10k theme: https://gist.github.com/kevin-smets/8568070

Setup shell prompt for .p10k.zsh

Open Iterm2 and run vim ~/.p10k.zsh, hit I on keyboard to edit shell. Search for instant_prompt_example and past below code under it.

 function prompt_firebase() {
    local fb_project=$(grep \"$(pwd)\" ~/.config/configstore/firebase-tools.json | cut -d" " -f2)
    if [[ -n $fb_project ]]; then
    p10k segment -t $fb_project
    fi
  }

  typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_FIREBASE_FOREGROUND='009'
  typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_FIREBASE_BACKGROUND='232'
  typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_FIREBASE_VISUAL_IDENTIFIER_EXPANSION='🔥'

Now scroll all the way up to find POWERLEVEL9K_RIGHT_PROMPT_ELEMENTS and past firebase at the and. Feel free to paste it under Line #1 or Line #2, I recommend Line 2.

• Now hit esc
• Hold Shift + :
• Type wq
• And hit Enter

That's it, now you can navigate to project directory and see your project env all the time.
