Introspection: Print associated project

[guettli]

TL;DR

hcloud project would be nice, so that you can see which project you are currently connected to (via HCLOUD_TOKEN).

We use many hcloud projects, and sometimes it is no clear which project you are connected to.

I think about creating a starship prompt integration, so that I see which hcloud project I am currently using.

But up to now there seems to be no way to get this information.

Unfortunately the API does not offer a possibility to identify a token's parent project at the moment. However, you can probably achieve similar functionality by using contexts. You can create one context for each of your projects and then use hcloud context active to show your current context/project or hcloud context use to switch it.

@pauhull I would like to solve the underlying issue: Who is responsible for the API and how to contact this person?

Hey @guettli, I have added a +1 on our internal feature request board for "GET current-project" endpoint.

Closing the issue, as the CLI can only implement endpoints that are available in the API.

PS. I also work with different projects & tokens regularly, so I added this to my oh-my-zsh prompt:

➜  ~ hc:(personal) which hcloud_ps1
hcloud_ps1 () {
	local HCLOUD_PS1
	HCLOUD_PS1_CONTEXT="$(hcloud context active)"
	HCLOUD_PS1+="%{$fg_bold[blue]%}hc:("
	HCLOUD_PS1+="%{$fg_bold[red]%}"
	HCLOUD_PS1+="${HCLOUD_PS1_CONTEXT}"
	HCLOUD_PS1+="%{$fg_bold[blue]%})%{$reset_color%}"
	echo "${HCLOUD_PS1}"
}
➜  ~ hc:(personal)
