Welcome to the Gemini CLI Documentation

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to installing, using, and developing the Gemini CLI tool. Gemini CLI allows you to interact with Gemini models through a powerful and flexible command-line interface.

Overview

The Gemini CLI is a tool designed to bring the capabilities of Gemini models to your terminal. It consists of a client-side application (packages/cli) that communicates with a local server (packages/core), which in turn interacts with the Gemini API.
