Sounds like a context feeder to me. There's already tons of these, with mcp support, which are multi-vendor. Why lock yourself to a single vendor?

Glad to see them working on this, as a Gemini user, I had to build https://github.com/aperoc/toolkami for myself before this.

I use Aider with Gemini 2.5 flash since its cheaper than Claude by an order of magnitude. This looks like a potential replacement.

404. That’s an error.

The requested URL /technology/developers/introducing-gemini-cli/ was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

Although repo is 404. It is still more accessible than getting API Keys for Gemini

Looks like they haven't flipped the GitHub repo (https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) to public yet.

This looks like a leak or very early post, date reads the 25th.

Assuming this is something like Claude Code (guess we'll find out soon), I've had generally more success with Gemini 2.5 than Claude Opus for the various little refactorings and minor tasks I wanted to do. At large scale, complex changes I still don't expect a huge improvement over what we have already, but I'm eager to see what Google has come up with.

I just released this tool a few hours ago - https://github.com/BandarLabs/coderunner

The key difference would be Gemini CLI running code directly on you mac vs in a Apple container (in my tool).

They support MCP, so I might add Apple container support once the repo is public.
