Google Cloud Platform Flask Python App Deployment

I walk through how to deploy Python Flask applications to Google Cloud Platform as an alternative to Heroku or AWS for PaaS.
1. Create a new project in Google Cloud console
2. Activate cloud shell button (top right)
4. Click on Open Editor (within the Cloud shell)
5. Expand appengine, flexible, hello_world (confirm you can see the .py file for the Flask example)
6. In the console, cd to the hello_world dir and run command: gcloud app deploy
7. If you are asked to set PROJECT_ID, run following command: gcloud config set project [PROJECT_NAME]
8. After a few minutes, your project should be live and it will have a link you can go to access your application!

Hello, if I want to deploy the python app for some time like a month, I just have to do it in the Cloud Shell as you did, or I should create a VM and do it in that VM's terminal?

I think I am going mad, I have one project with requests library, it is intalled, but I still get this error when deploying: import requests
, ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'requests' tried to google around but found no definitive answer

Can I clone files in my local folder instead of GitHub?
