If you have two accounts below:

STEP 1. create configuration set for account1

% gcloud config configurations create account1
Created [account1].
Activated [account1].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set project hoge-fuga-123
Updated property [core/project].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set account sample@account1.sample
Updated property [core/account].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP 2. create configuration set for account2

% gcloud config configurations create account2
Created [account2].
Activated [account2].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set project hoge-fuga-456
Updated property [core/project].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config set account sample@account2.sample
Updated property [core/account].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

STEP 3. switch to account1 and check config

% gcloud config configurations activate account1
Activated [account1].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config list
[core]
account = sample@account1.sample
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = hoge-fuga-123

Your active configuration is: [account1]

STEP 4. switch to account2 and check config

% gcloud config configurations activate account2
Activated [account2].
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode 
% gcloud config list
[core]
account = sample@account2.sample
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = hoge-fuga-456
