Working with multiple projects

If you have more than one repository/project in Google cloud, you can connect multiple GCR registries and define one as the “primary” for the gcr.io domain.

This means that every time Codefresh needs to pull an image it will use that integration. If you wish to use another project for pulling images, you can use the registry_context property as described in working with multiple registries.
