gemini
For Google Workspace accounts and other authentication methods, see the authentication guide.
🚀 Getting Started
Basic Usage
Start in current directory
gemini
Include multiple directories
gemini --include-directories ../lib,../docs
Use specific model
gemini -m gemini-2.5-flash
Non-interactive mode for scripts
Get a simple text response:
gemini -p "Explain the architecture of this codebase"
For more advanced scripting, including how to parse JSON and handle errors, use
the --output-format json flag to get structured output:
gemini -p "Explain the architecture of this codebase" --output-format json
For real-time event streaming (useful for monitoring long-running operations),
use --output-format stream-json to get newline-delimited JSON events:
gemini -p "Run tests and deploy" --output-format stream-json
Quick Examples
