Gemini CLI

[!IMPORTANT] Read before installing — Gemini CLI status & tool guide - Enterprise Code Assist only: Designed for Gemini Code Assist Standard / Enterprise licenses and Code Assist for GitHub on Google Cloud (your access remains unchanged). - No free tier or Google AI plans: Free individual access and Google AI Pro / Ultra (Google One) moved to Antigravity CLI on June 18, 2026 (transition post). - Not optimized for Gemini 4+: Not tuned for the Gemini 4 series (for example, Gemini 4 Argon) or future releases in this or later generations. - Not for model benchmarks: Don't use Gemini CLI to benchmark Gemini models—its harness isn't tuned for Gemini 4+ and produces unrepresentative scores. Which Google CLI do you need? | Tool | Best for | Links | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | [Antigravity CLI](https://antigravity.google/product/antigravity-cli) (agy) | Interactive multi-agent coding terminal. Use for Gemini 4 Argon+, free / Google AI Pro & Ultra accounts, or Google Cloud. | Download · Migrate · Argon post | | [Gemini API CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-api-cli) (gemini-api) | Stateless API CLI *(not a coding harness)*. Gives agents (agy, Claude Code, Codex), scripts, and CI direct commands for Gemini models, media gen, file analysis, and managed agents. | GitHub · Releases · API docs | | Gemini CLI (gemini, *this repo*) | Organizations with Gemini Code Assist Standard / Enterprise or Code Assist for GitHub on Google Cloud *(plus legacy paid API / Vertex keys)*. | Docs |

Gemini CLI (gemini) is an open-source terminal agent maintained for enterprise Gemini Code Assist workflows on Google Cloud. Learn more in the Gemini CLI documentation.
