+NAME
+    gcloud alpha auth application-default - manage your active Application
+        Default Credentials
+
+SYNOPSIS
+    gcloud alpha auth application-default COMMAND [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    (ALPHA) Application Default Credentials (ADC) provide a method to get
+    credentials used in calling Google APIs. The gcloud alpha auth
+    application-default command group allows you to manage active credentials
+    on your machine that are used for local application development.
+
+    These credentials are only used by Google client libraries in your own
+    application.
+
+    For more information about ADC and how it works, see Authenticating as a
+    service account (https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production).
+
+EXAMPLES
+    To use your own user credentials for your application to access an API,
+    run:
+
+        $ gcloud alpha auth application-default login
+
+    This will take you through a web flow to acquire new user credentials.
+
+    To create a service account and have your application use it for API
+    access, run:
+
+        $ gcloud iam service-accounts create my-account
+        $ gcloud iam service-accounts keys create key.json \
+            --iam-account=my-account@my-project.iam.gserviceaccount.com
+        $ export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=key.json
+        $ ./my_application.sh
+
+GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
+    These flags are available to all commands: --help.
+
+    Run $ gcloud help for details.
+
+COMMANDS
+    COMMAND is one of the following:
+

+        Credentials.

+NOTES
+    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
+    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
+    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
+    access allowlist. These variants are also available:
+
+        $ gcloud auth application-default
+
+        $ gcloud beta auth application-default
