Gemini CLI

Gemini CLI is a deprecated Google terminal assistant that provided code completion, explanations, test generation, and bug-fixing help across multiple languages. For a current Google coding CLI, evaluate Antigravity CLI instead.

Gemini CLI's former capabilities remain available for comparison and historical reference. The product is deprecated, so new evaluations should continue with Antigravity CLI rather than planning a fresh Gemini CLI adoption.
