CircleCI kubectl config error on deployment to gcloud - docker

Question

I'm new to docker/kubernetes/dev ops in general and I was following a course that used Travis with Github, however I use BitBucket so I'm trying to implement a CI deployment to GKE with CircleCI.
Most of the tasks are working just fine but I'm reaching an error when it comes to kubectl (especifically on the deploy.sh script). Here's the error I'm getting:
unable to recognize "k8s/client-deployment.yml": Get http://localhost:8080/api?timeout=32s: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8080: connect: connection refused

I've managed to get this far tackling through problems, however I'm lost on this one so any help is appreciated.
Here's the config.yml for CircleCI (on MyUser I'm actually using my docker user, not an env or anything, it's simply to not disclose it):

So turns out I was only missing the next command:
gcloud --quiet container clusters get-credentials multi-cluster
As part of this task:
# !!! This installs gcloud !!!
- run:
name: Installing GCL
working_directory: /
command: |
echo $GCLOUD_SERVICE_KEY | gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=-
gcloud --quiet config set project ${GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID}
gcloud --quiet config set compute/zone ${GOOGLE_COMPUTE_ZONE}
gcloud --quiet container clusters get-credentials multi-cluster
