- Refactors history display using Ink's <Static> component to prevent flickering and improve performance by rendering completed items statically. - Introduces ConsolePatcher component to capture and display console.log, console.warn, and console.error output within the Ink UI, addressing native handling issues. - Introduce a new content splitting mechanism to work better for static items. Basically when content gets too long we will now split content into multiple blocks for Gemini messages to ensure that we can statically cache larger pieces of history.

Gemini Code CLI
This package contains the core command-line interface for Gemini Code.
Setup
- Get a Gemini API Key: Obtain your API key from Google AI Studio: https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey
- Set Environment Variable: Set the
GEMINI_API_KEY
environment variable to your obtained key. You can do this temporarily in your current shell session:
Or add it to your shell's configuration file (likeexport GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
~/.bashrc
,~/.zshrc
, or~/.profile
) for persistence:
Replaceecho 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"' >> ~/.bashrc # Or your preferred shell config file source ~/.bashrc # Reload the config
"YOUR_API_KEY"
with your actual key.
Building
To build only the CLI package, navigate to this directory (packages/cli
) and run:
npm run build
This command executes the TypeScript compiler (tsc
) as defined in this package's package.json
. Ensure dependencies have been installed from the root directory (npm install
) first.
Running
To start the Gemini Code CLI directly from this directory:
npm start
This command executes node dist/gemini.js
as defined in this package's package.json
.
Debugging
To debug the CLI application using VS Code:
- Start the CLI in debug mode from this directory (
packages/cli
):
This command runsnpm run debug
node --inspect-brk dist/gemini.js
, pausing execution until a debugger attaches. - In VS Code (opened at the root of the monorepo), use the "Attach" launch configuration (found in
.vscode/launch.json
). This configuration is set up to attach to the Node.js process listening on port 9229, which is the default port used by--inspect-brk
.
