Gemini-cli is pretty good ..

Since you zapped ( and thanks for that ) , here is few more tip ..

1) it is the only cli that is free ..Anthropic and open AI need premium plans for CLI ..

2) Google gives lots of free tokens with CLI .. should easily last your days work if you are starting vibe journey

3) don't waste time in IDEs .. cuz CLI does everything ..from creating folders ..running commands in terminal .. IDEs are unnecessary load on machine

4) you don't need to set up API keys ..just sign in with Google account during set up ..

Happy vibe ..

One hour and I couldn't even install it with the help of Claude AI. It's frustrating.

You m an you couldn't install gemini-cli ?

It is just one command -

npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

Assuming you already have nodejs latest installed

alp 5mo ago

No, via python3/pip

Satosha 5mo ago

I don't know why you are doing pip to install gemini-cli .. here is a simple one line command

Ok installed it now with npm. Works. And looks good so far.

What do you do when you exceed your rate limit quota and Gemini becomes unresponsive? 😬

Satosha 5mo ago

One simple hack is to have multiple google accounts .. preferably on separate machines .. sync your code through GitHub and ssh into different machine .. kinda clean ..

But .. at some point ..when you feel it is value .. you would want to pay to increase your quota .. at the end ...it is like having fifty juinor deves at your command .. might as well send them some SATs :-)

Yeah, that makes sense. I just need a bit more experience with it before I pay. But so far it's been working well, until I hit some limitations. And if things keep going this way, I'd definitely pay for it. Do you also build larger projects with it?

Satosha 5mo ago

In every repo you work ... Ask it to create a GEMINI.md file .. and put all instructions there .. like do a consitenceny check for specs , tests and code as soon as you start Gemini .. helps to save lots of tokens and time ..

alp 5mo ago

Yeah, that's how I hit the limit. Let it write automated tests with pytest and follow some established coding conventions. 😬

Satosha 5mo ago

And then run command "gemini" in any folder other than home ..

Warp is also a free cli https://www.warp.dev/

Satosha 5mo ago

It is a wrapper .. You still need to have LLM API connected to it ? Isn't it .. like goose ..

I don’t know every details about it. I tried it and it was a free cli.
