git - Google Cloud: How to deploy mirrored Repository

Question

I am trying to deploy a node app, which is in a repository in GitHub, and mirrored by the Google App Engine.

The steps I took:

1. Create the app on my local machine

2. Published the Repository on Github

3. In the Google Console, I told App Engine to mirror this Repository, which works: If I go to Development, the repository shows up:

4. Then I open the remote shell Google is providing, and tried to run gcloud app deploy, which gave an error, then I noticed the files are not in the directory. So I browsed through all the folders of this machine via the shell, and I can't find it.

Question: What am I missing here? Does Google mirroring my Repo not imply it is somewhere saved on the instance? Do I need to clone it to there as well?
