Adds the following attributes to the event:
- embedding_model
- api_key_enabled
- code_assist_enabled
- debug_mode
- mcp_servers
This additional data will provide more insight into user configurations.
Adds the text content of the API response to the telemetry event. This provides more context for debugging and analysis without logging the entire, potentially large, response object.
- Adds an optional field to the type.
- Updates to include the field in the logged attributes.
- Modifies the to extract the response text using and pass it to the logger.
- Adds a new test file for the telemetry loggers, including tests for the function to verify the new functionality.
This commit refactors the telemetry system to pass a object to various logging and metrics functions. This change centralizes configuration management within the telemetry system, making it more modular and easier to maintain.
The constructor and various tool execution functions have been updated to accept the object, which is then passed down to the telemetry functions. This eliminates the need to pass individual configuration values, such as , through multiple layers of the application.
Standardizes on the distribution for local and Google Cloud setups.
Restructures the guide to present Docker and standalone binary as clear, parallel options and makes the Google Cloud command more robust.
This commit enhances the telemetry documentation with several key improvements for clarity and usability.
- Adds a prominent note clarifying that telemetry is currently incompatible with sandbox mode.
- Updates the example JSON configuration to explicitly include sandbox: false to prevent user confusion.
- Introduces a new Configurations section with instructions to create the directory.
- Adds a new step for setting necessary environment variables for the Google Cloud setup.
- Makes the command for Google Cloud more portable by using the environment variable instead of a hardcoded path.
- Re-numbers the steps in the Google Cloud setup guide to maintain a logical flow.
This commit adds a new `tutorials.md` file to the CLI documentation.
This section is intended to house various tutorials for using Gemini CLI.
The initial content includes a tutorial on setting up Model Context
Protocol (MCP) servers, using the GitHub MCP server as an example.
The `docs/cli/index.md` has been updated to include a link to this
new tutorials section.
This commit introduces the ability to use system environment variables
within the settings files (e.g., `settings.json`). Users can now
reference environment variables using the `${VAR_NAME}` syntax.
This enhancement improves security and flexibility, particularly
for configurations like MCP server settings, which often require
sensitive tokens.
Previously, to configure an MCP server, a token might be directly
embedded:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "pat_abc123"
}
// ...
}
}
```
With this change, the same configuration can securely reference an
environment variable:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
}
// ...
}
}
```
This allows users to avoid storing secrets directly in configuration files.
# Add .gitignore-Aware File Filtering to gemini-cli
This pull request introduces .gitignore-based file filtering to the gemini-cli, ensuring that git-ignored files are automatically excluded from file-related operations and suggestions throughout the CLI. The update enhances usability, reduces noise from build artifacts and dependencies, and provides new configuration options for fine-tuning file discovery.
Key Improvements
.gitignore File Filtering
All @ (at) commands, file completions, and core discovery tools now honor .gitignore patterns by default.
Git-ignored files (such as node_modules/, dist/, .env, and .git) are excluded from results unless explicitly overridden.
The behavior can be customized via a new fileFiltering section in settings.json, including options for:
Turning .gitignore respect on/off.
Adding custom ignore patterns.
Allowing or excluding build artifacts.
Configuration & Documentation Updates
settings.json schema extended with fileFiltering options.
Documentation updated to explain new filtering controls and usage patterns.
Testing
New and updated integration/unit tests for file filtering logic, configuration merging, and edge cases.
Test coverage ensures .gitignore filtering works as intended across different workflows.
Internal Refactoring
Core file discovery logic refactored for maintainability and extensibility.
Underlying tools (ls, glob, read-many-files) now support git-aware filtering out of the box.
