Terminal Agent
Gemini CLI
Google's open-source terminal AI agent, built on Gemini, for querying and editing a local codebase and running multi-step tasks from the command line.
Gemini CLI is Google’s open-source command-line agent built on Gemini models: it works directly against a local repository from the terminal, answering questions about the code, making edits, and running commands as part of a multi-step task.
Why it stands out
- Open source and scriptable, so it fits into existing terminal and CI workflows without a separate IDE.
- Built on Gemini’s long context, useful for reasoning across a large codebase at once.
- Tied into Google’s broader Code Assist tooling for teams already standardized on Google Cloud.
Good for
Developers on Google’s model stack who want a terminal agent instead of an IDE-bound one.
