Gemini CLI is here! Our most powerful open-source CLI that brings Google's Gemini 2.5 models directly into your terminal! With unique features like hierarchical memory (context), self-correcting file edits, and secure sandboxed tool execution.

💡 Hierarchical Memory and instructions from GEMINI md files.
🛠️ Bulit-in tools for filesystem, shell, MCP servers, and new shareable custom extensions.
📄 Multi-modal context, understands images, PDFs, and live web search results.
🔒 Supports secure tools via container sandboxes (Docker, Podman, or macOS sandbox-exec)
📈 Switches models automatically (e.g., pro to flash) to bypass API rate limits.
📊 Built-in Observability with OTEL traces, metrics, and logs.
💾 Save and resume conversations: persistent history across sessions, isolated per project.
💡 Git-Aware Context, the @ command respects .gitignore, --yolo flag to auto-approve
🤗 Native Windows support, no WSL required and Open Source under Apache 2.0!
