# Automate tasks with headless mode
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Automate tasks with Gemini CLI. Learn how to use headless mode, pipe data into
|
|
4
|
+
Gemini CLI, automate workflows with shell scripts, and generate structured JSON
|
|
5
|
+
output for other applications.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
|
|
10
|
+
- Familiarity with shell scripting (Bash/Zsh).
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
## Why headless mode?
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
Headless mode runs Gemini CLI once and exits. It's perfect for:
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
- **CI/CD:** Analyzing pull requests automatically.
|
|
17
|
+
- **Batch processing:** Summarizing a large number of log files.
|
|
18
|
+
- **Tool building:** Creating your own "AI wrapper" scripts.
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
## How to use headless mode
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
Run Gemini CLI in headless mode by providing a prompt as a positional argument.
|
|
23
|
+
This bypasses the interactive chat interface and prints the response to standard
|
|
24
|
+
output (stdout).
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
Run a single command:
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
```bash
|
|
29
|
+
gemini "Write a poem about TypeScript"
|
|
30
|
+
```
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
## How to pipe input to Gemini CLI
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
Feed data into Gemini using the standard Unix pipe `|`. Gemini reads the
|
|
35
|
+
standard input (stdin) as context and answers your question using standard
|
|
36
|
+
output.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
Pipe a file:
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
```bash
|
|
41
|
+
cat error.log | gemini "Explain why this failed"
|
|
42
|
+
```
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
Pipe a command:
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
```bash
|
|
47
|
+
git diff | gemini "Write a commit message for these changes"
|
|
48
|
+
```
|
|
49
|
+
|
|
50
|
+
## Use Gemini CLI output in scripts
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
Because Gemini prints to stdout, you can chain it with other tools or save the
|
|
53
|
+
results to a file.
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
### Scenario: Bulk documentation generator
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
You have a folder of Python scripts and want to generate a `README.md` for each
|
|
58
|
+
one.
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
1. Save the following code as `generate_docs.sh`:
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62
|
+
```bash
|
|
63
|
+
#!/bin/bash
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
# Loop through all Python files
|
|
66
|
+
for file in *.py; do
|
|
67
|
+
echo "Generating docs for $file..."
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
# Ask Gemini CLI to generate the documentation and print it to stdout
|
|
70
|
+
gemini "Generate a Markdown documentation summary for @$file. Print the
|
|
71
|
+
result to standard output." > "${file%.py}.md"
|
|
72
|
+
done
|
|
73
|
+
```
|
|
74
|
+
|
|
75
|
+
2. Make the script executable and run it in your directory:
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
```bash
|
|
78
|
+
chmod +x generate_docs.sh
|
|
79
|
+
./generate_docs.sh
|
|
80
|
+
```
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
This creates a corresponding Markdown file for every Python file in the
|
|
83
|
+
folder.
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
## Extract structured JSON data
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
When writing a script, you often need structured data (JSON) to pass to tools
|
|
88
|
+
like `jq`. To get pure JSON data from the model, combine the
|
|
89
|
+
`--output-format json` flag with `jq` to parse the response field.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
### Scenario: Extract and return structured data
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
1. Save the following script as `generate_json.sh`:
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
```bash
|
|
96
|
+
#!/bin/bash
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
# Ensure we are in a project root
|
|
99
|
+
if [ ! -f "package.json" ]; then
|
|
100
|
+
echo "Error: package.json not found."
|
|
101
|
+
exit 1
|
|
102
|
+
fi
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
# Extract data
|
|
105
|
+
gemini --output-format json "Return a raw JSON object with keys 'version' and 'deps' from @package.json" | jq -r '.response' > data.json
|
|
106
|
+
```
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
2. Run `generate_json.sh`:
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
```bash
|
|
111
|
+
chmod +x generate_json.sh
|
|
112
|
+
./generate_json.sh
|
|
113
|
+
```
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
3. Check `data.json`. The file should look like this:
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
```json
|
|
118
|
+
{
|
|
119
|
+
"version": "1.0.0",
|
|
120
|
+
"deps": {
|
|
121
|
+
"react": "^18.2.0"
|
|
122
|
+
}
|
|
123
|
+
}
|
|
124
|
+
```
|
|
125
|
+
|
|
126
|
+
## Build your own custom AI tools
|
|
127
|
+
|
|
128
|
+
Use headless mode to perform custom, automated AI tasks.
|
|
129
|
+
|
|
130
|
+
### Scenario: Create a "Smart Commit" alias
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
You can add a function to your shell configuration (like `.zshrc` or `.bashrc`)
|
|
133
|
+
to create a `git commit` wrapper that writes the message for you.
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
1. Open your `.zshrc` file (or `.bashrc` if you use Bash) in your preferred
|
|
136
|
+
text editor.
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
```bash
|
|
139
|
+
nano ~/.zshrc
|
|
140
|
+
```
|
|
141
|
+
|
|
142
|
+
**Note**: If you use VS Code, you can run `code ~/.zshrc`.
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
2. Scroll to the very bottom of the file and paste this code:
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
```bash
|
|
147
|
+
function gcommit() {
|
|
148
|
+
# Get the diff of staged changes
|
|
149
|
+
diff=$(git diff --staged)
|
|
150
|
+
|
|
151
|
+
if [ -z "$diff" ]; then
|
|
152
|
+
echo "No staged changes to commit."
|
|
153
|
+
return 1
|
|
154
|
+
fi
|
|
155
|
+
|
|
156
|
+
# Ask Gemini to write the message
|
|
157
|
+
echo "Generating commit message..."
|
|
158
|
+
msg=$(echo "$diff" | gemini "Write a concise Conventional Commit message for this diff. Output ONLY the message.")
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
# Commit with the generated message
|
|
161
|
+
git commit -m "$msg"
|
|
162
|
+
}
|
|
163
|
+
```
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
Save your file and exit.
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
3. Run this command to make the function available immediately:
|
|
168
|
+
|
|
169
|
+
```bash
|
|
170
|
+
source ~/.zshrc
|
|
171
|
+
```
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
4. Use your new command:
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
```bash
|
|
176
|
+
gcommit
|
|
177
|
+
```
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
Gemini CLI will analyze your staged changes and commit them with a generated
|
|
180
|
+
message.
|
|
181
|
+
|
|
182
|
+
## Next steps
|
|
183
|
+
|
|
184
|
+
- Explore the [Headless mode reference](../../cli/headless.md) for full JSON
|
|
185
|
+
schema details.
|
|
186
|
+
- Learn about [Shell commands](shell-commands.md) to let the agent run scripts
|
|
187
|
+
instead of just writing them.

# File management with Gemini CLI
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Explore, analyze, and modify your codebase using Gemini CLI. In this guide,
|
|
4
|
+
you'll learn how to provide Gemini CLI with files and directories, modify and
|
|
5
|
+
create files, and control what Gemini CLI can see.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
|
|
10
|
+
- A project directory to work with (e.g., a git repository).
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
## How to give the agent context (Reading files)
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
Gemini CLI will generally try to read relevant files, sometimes prompting you
|
|
15
|
+
for access (depending on your settings). To ensure that Gemini CLI uses a file,
|
|
16
|
+
you can also include it directly.
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
### Direct file inclusion (`@`)
|
|
19
|
+
|
|
20
|
+
If you know the path to the file you want to work on, use the `@` symbol. This
|
|
21
|
+
forces the CLI to read the file immediately and inject its content into your
|
|
22
|
+
prompt.
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
```bash
|
|
25
|
+
`@src/components/UserProfile.tsx Explain how this component handles user data.`
|
|
26
|
+
```
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
### Working with multiple files
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
Complex features often span multiple files. You can chain `@` references to give
|
|
31
|
+
the agent a complete picture of the dependencies.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
```bash
|
|
34
|
+
`@src/components/UserProfile.tsx @src/types/User.ts Refactor the component to use the updated User interface.`
|
|
35
|
+
```
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
### Including entire directories
|
|
38
|
+
|
|
39
|
+
For broad questions or refactoring, you can include an entire directory. Be
|
|
40
|
+
careful with large folders, as this consumes more tokens.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
```bash
|
|
43
|
+
`@src/utils/ Check these utility functions for any deprecated API usage.`
|
|
44
|
+
```
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
## How to find files (Exploration)
|
|
47
|
+
|
|
48
|
+
If you _don't_ know the exact file path, you can ask Gemini CLI to find it for
|
|
49
|
+
you. This is useful when navigating a new codebase or looking for specific
|
|
50
|
+
logic.
|
|
51
|
+
|
|
52
|
+
### Scenario: Find a component definition
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
You know there's a `UserProfile` component, but you don't know where it lives.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
```none
|
|
57
|
+
`Find the file that defines the UserProfile component.`
|
|
58
|
+
```
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
Gemini uses the `glob` or `list_directory` tools to search your project
|
|
61
|
+
structure. It will return the specific path (e.g.,
|
|
62
|
+
`src/components/UserProfile.tsx`), which you can then use with `@` in your next
|
|
63
|
+
turn.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
> **Tip:** You can also ask for lists of files, like "Show me all the TypeScript
|
|
66
|
+
> configuration files in the root directory."
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
## How to modify code
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
Once Gemini CLI has context, you can direct it to make specific edits. The agent
|
|
71
|
+
is capable of complex refactoring, not just simple text replacement.
|
|
72
|
+
|
|
73
|
+
```none
|
|
74
|
+
`Update @src/components/UserProfile.tsx to show a loading spinner if the user data is null.`
|
|
75
|
+
```
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
Gemini CLI uses the `replace` tool to propose a targeted code change.
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
### Creating new files
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
You can also ask the agent to create entirely new files or folder structures.
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
```none
|
|
84
|
+
`Create a new file @src/components/LoadingSpinner.tsx with a simple Tailwind CSS spinner.`
|
|
85
|
+
```
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
Gemini CLI uses the `write_file` tool to generate the new file from scratch.
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
## Review and confirm changes
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
Gemini CLI prioritizes safety. Before any file is modified, it presents a
|
|
92
|
+
unified diff of the proposed changes.
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
```diff
|
|
95
|
+
- if (!user) return null;
|
|
96
|
+
+ if (!user) return <LoadingSpinner />;
|
|
97
|
+
```
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
- **Red lines (-):** Code that will be removed.
|
|
100
|
+
- **Green lines (+):** Code that will be added.
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
Press **y** to confirm and apply the change to your local file system. If the
|
|
103
|
+
diff doesn't look right, press **n** to cancel and refine your prompt.
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
## Verify the result
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
After the edit is complete, verify the fix. You can simply read the file again
|
|
108
|
+
or, better yet, run your project's tests.
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
```none
|
|
111
|
+
`Run the tests for the UserProfile component.`
|
|
112
|
+
```
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
Gemini CLI uses the `run_shell_command` tool to execute your test runner (e.g.,
|
|
115
|
+
`npm test` or `jest`). This ensures the changes didn't break existing
|
|
116
|
+
functionality.
|
|
117
|
+
|
|
118
|
+
## Advanced: Controlling what Gemini sees
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
By default, Gemini CLI respects your `.gitignore` file. It won't read or search
|
|
121
|
+
through `node_modules`, build artifacts, or other ignored paths.
|
|
122
|
+
|
|
123
|
+
If you have sensitive files (like `.env`) or large assets that you want to keep
|
|
124
|
+
hidden from the AI _without_ ignoring them in Git, you can create a
|
|
125
|
+
`.geminiignore` file in your project root.
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
**Example `.geminiignore`:**
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
```text
|
|
130
|
+
.env
|
|
131
|
+
local-db-dump.sql
|
|
132
|
+
private-notes.md
|
|
133
|
+
```
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+

# Set up an MCP server
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Connect Gemini CLI to your external databases and services. In this guide,
|
|
4
|
+
you'll learn how to extend Gemini CLI's capabilities by installing the GitHub
|
|
5
|
+
MCP server and using it to manage your repositories.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Gemini CLI installed.
|
|
10
|
+
- **Docker:** Required for this specific example (many MCP servers run as Docker
|
|
11
|
+
containers).
|
|
12
|
+
- **GitHub token:** A Personal Access Token (PAT) with repo permissions.
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
## How to prepare your credentials
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
Most MCP servers require authentication. For GitHub, you need a PAT.
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
1. Create a [fine-grained PAT](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta).
|
|
19
|
+
2. Grant it **Read** access to **Metadata** and **Contents**, and
|
|
20
|
+
**Read/Write** access to **Issues** and **Pull Requests**.
|
|
21
|
+
3. Store it in your environment:
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
```bash
|
|
24
|
+
export GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN="github_pat_..."
|
|
25
|
+
```
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
## How to configure Gemini CLI
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
You tell Gemini about new servers by editing your `settings.json`.
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
1. Open `~/.gemini/settings.json` (or the project-specific
|
|
32
|
+
`.gemini/settings.json`).
|
|
33
|
+
2. Add the `mcpServers` block. This tells Gemini: "Run this docker container
|
|
34
|
+
and talk to it."
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
```json
|
|
37
|
+
{
|
|
38
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
39
|
+
"github": {
|
|
40
|
+
"command": "docker",
|
|
41
|
+
"args": [
|
|
42
|
+
"run",
|
|
43
|
+
"-i",
|
|
44
|
+
"--rm",
|
|
45
|
+
"-e",
|
|
46
|
+
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN",
|
|
47
|
+
"ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/servers/github:latest"
|
|
48
|
+
],
|
|
49
|
+
"env": {
|
|
50
|
+
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
|
|
51
|
+
}
|
|
52
|
+
}
|
|
53
|
+
}
|
|
54
|
+
}
|
|
55
|
+
```
|
|
56
|
+
|
|
57
|
+
> **Note:** The `command` is `docker`, and the rest are arguments passed to it.
|
|
58
|
+
> We map the local environment variable into the container so your secret isn't
|
|
59
|
+
> hardcoded in the config file.
|
|
60
|
+
|
|
61
|
+
## How to verify the connection
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
Restart Gemini CLI. It will automatically try to start the defined servers.
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
**Command:** `/mcp list`
|
|
66
|
+
|
|
67
|
+
You should see: `✓ github: docker ... - Connected`
|
|
68
|
+
|
|
69
|
+
If you see `Disconnected` or an error, check that Docker is running and your API
|
|
70
|
+
token is valid.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
## How to use the new tools
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
Now that the server is running, the agent has new capabilities ("tools"). You
|
|
75
|
+
don't need to learn special commands; just ask in natural language.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
### Scenario: Listing pull requests
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
**Prompt:** `List the open PRs in the google/gemini-cli repository.`
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
The agent will:
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
1. Recognize the request matches a GitHub tool.
|
|
84
|
+
2. Call `github_list_pull_requests`.
|
|
85
|
+
3. Present the data to you.
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
### Scenario: Creating an issue
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
**Prompt:**
|
|
90
|
+
`Create an issue in my repo titled "Bug: Login fails" with the description "See logs".`
|
|
91
|
+
|
|
92
|
+
## Troubleshooting
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
- **Server won't start?** Try running the docker command manually in your
|
|
95
|
+
terminal to see if it prints an error (e.g., "image not found").
|
|
96
|
+
- **Tools not found?** Run `/mcp refresh` to force the CLI to re-query the
|
|
97
|
+
server for its capabilities.
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+
## Next steps
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
- Explore the [MCP servers reference](../../tools/mcp-server.md) to learn about
|
|
102
|
+
SSE and HTTP transports for remote servers.

# Manage context and memory
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Control what Gemini CLI knows about you and your projects. In this guide, you'll
|
|
4
|
+
learn how to define project-wide rules with `GEMINI.md`, teach the agent
|
|
5
|
+
persistent facts, and inspect the active context.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
|
|
10
|
+
- A project directory where you want to enforce specific rules.
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
## Why manage context?
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
Out of the box, Gemini CLI is smart but generic. It doesn't know your preferred
|
|
15
|
+
testing framework, your indentation style, or that you hate using `any` in
|
|
16
|
+
TypeScript. Context management solves this by giving the agent persistent
|
|
17
|
+
memory.
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
You'll use these features when you want to:
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
- **Enforce standards:** Ensure every generated file matches your team's style
|
|
22
|
+
guide.
|
|
23
|
+
- **Set a persona:** Tell the agent to act as a "Senior Rust Engineer" or "QA
|
|
24
|
+
Specialist."
|
|
25
|
+
- **Remember facts:** Save details like "My database port is 5432" so you don't
|
|
26
|
+
have to repeat them.
|
|
27
|
+
|
|
28
|
+
## How to define project-wide rules (GEMINI.md)
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
The most powerful way to control the agent's behavior is through `GEMINI.md`
|
|
31
|
+
files. These are Markdown files containing instructions that are automatically
|
|
32
|
+
loaded into every conversation.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
### Scenario: Create a project context file
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
1. In the root of your project, create a file named `GEMINI.md`.
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
2. Add your instructions:
|
|
39
|
+
|
|
40
|
+
```markdown
|
|
41
|
+
# Project Instructions
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
- **Framework:** We use React with Vite.
|
|
44
|
+
- **Styling:** Use Tailwind CSS for all styling. Do not write custom CSS.
|
|
45
|
+
- **Testing:** All new components must include a Vitest unit test.
|
|
46
|
+
- **Tone:** Be concise. Don't explain basic React concepts.
|
|
47
|
+
```
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
3. Start a new session. Gemini CLI will now know these rules automatically.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
### Scenario: Using the hierarchy
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
Context is loaded hierarchically. This allows you to have general rules for
|
|
54
|
+
everything and specific rules for sub-projects.
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
1. **Global:** `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md` (Rules for _every_ project you work on).
|
|
57
|
+
2. **Project Root:** `./GEMINI.md` (Rules for the current repository).
|
|
58
|
+
3. **Subdirectory:** `./src/GEMINI.md` (Rules specific to the `src` folder).
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
**Example:** You might set "Always use strict typing" in your global config, but
|
|
61
|
+
"Use Python 3.11" only in your backend repository.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
## How to teach the agent facts (Memory)
|
|
64
|
+
|
|
65
|
+
Sometimes you don't want to write a config file. You just want to tell the agent
|
|
66
|
+
something once and have it remember forever. You can do this naturally in chat.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
### Scenario: Saving a memory
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
Just tell the agent to remember something.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
**Prompt:** `Remember that I prefer using 'const' over 'let' wherever possible.`
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
The agent will use the `save_memory` tool to store this fact in your global
|
|
75
|
+
memory file.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
**Prompt:** `Save the fact that the staging server IP is 10.0.0.5.`
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
### Scenario: Using memory in conversation
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
Once a fact is saved, you don't need to invoke it explicitly. The agent "knows"
|
|
82
|
+
it.
|
|
83
|
+
|
|
84
|
+
**Next Prompt:** `Write a script to deploy to staging.`
|
|
85
|
+
|
|
86
|
+
**Agent Response:** "I'll write a script to deploy to **10.0.0.5**..."
|
|
87
|
+
|
|
88
|
+
## How to manage and inspect context
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
As your project grows, you might want to see exactly what instructions the agent
|
|
91
|
+
is following.
|
|
92
|
+
|
|
93
|
+
### Scenario: View active context
|
|
94
|
+
|
|
95
|
+
To see the full, concatenated set of instructions currently loaded (from all
|
|
96
|
+
`GEMINI.md` files and saved memories), use the `/memory show` command.
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
**Command:** `/memory show`
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
This prints the raw text the model receives at the start of the session. It's
|
|
101
|
+
excellent for debugging why the agent might be ignoring a rule.
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
### Scenario: Refresh context
|
|
104
|
+
|
|
105
|
+
If you edit a `GEMINI.md` file while a session is running, the agent won't know
|
|
106
|
+
immediately. Force a reload with:
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
**Command:** `/memory refresh`
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
## Best practices
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
- **Keep it focused:** Don't dump your entire internal wiki into `GEMINI.md`.
|
|
113
|
+
Keep instructions actionable and relevant to code generation.
|
|
114
|
+
- **Use negative constraints:** Explicitly telling the agent what _not_ to do
|
|
115
|
+
(e.g., "Do not use class components") is often more effective than vague
|
|
116
|
+
positive instructions.
|
|
117
|
+
- **Review often:** Periodically check your `GEMINI.md` files to remove outdated
|
|
118
|
+
rules.
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
## Next steps
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
- Learn about [Session management](session-management.md) to see how short-term
|
|
123
|
+
history works.
|
|
124
|
+
- Explore the [Command reference](../../cli/commands.md) for more `/memory`
|
|
125
|
+
options.
|
|
126
|
+
- Read the technical spec for [Project context](../../cli/gemini-md.md).

# Manage sessions and history
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Resume, browse, and rewind your conversations with Gemini CLI. In this guide,
|
|
4
|
+
you'll learn how to switch between tasks, manage your session history, and undo
|
|
5
|
+
mistakes using the rewind feature.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
## Prerequisites
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
- Gemini CLI installed and authenticated.
|
|
10
|
+
- At least one active or past session.
|
|
11
|
+
|
|
12
|
+
## How to resume where you left off
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+
It's common to switch context—maybe you're waiting for a build and want to work
|
|
15
|
+
on a different feature. Gemini makes it easy to jump back in.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
### Scenario: Resume the last session
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
The fastest way to pick up your most recent work is with the `--resume` flag (or
|
|
20
|
+
`-r`).
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
```bash
|
|
23
|
+
gemini -r
|
|
24
|
+
```
|
|
25
|
+
|
|
26
|
+
This restores your chat history and memory, so you can say "Continue with the
|
|
27
|
+
next step" immediately.
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
### Scenario: Browse past sessions
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
If you want to find a specific conversation from yesterday, use the interactive
|
|
32
|
+
browser.
|
|
33
|
+
|
|
34
|
+
**Command:** `/resume`
|
|
35
|
+
|
|
36
|
+
This opens a searchable list of all your past sessions. You'll see:
|
|
37
|
+
|
|
38
|
+
- A timestamp (e.g., "2 hours ago").
|
|
39
|
+
- The first user message (helping you identify the topic).
|
|
40
|
+
- The number of turns in the conversation.
|
|
41
|
+
|
|
42
|
+
Select a session and press **Enter** to load it.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
## How to manage your workspace
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
Over time, you'll accumulate a lot of history. Keeping your session list clean
|
|
47
|
+
helps you find what you need.
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
### Scenario: Deleting sessions
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
In the `/resume` browser, navigate to a session you no longer need and press
|
|
52
|
+
**x**. This permanently deletes the history for that specific conversation.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54
|
+
You can also manage sessions from the command line:
|
|
55
|
+
|
|
56
|
+
```bash
|
|
57
|
+
# List all sessions with their IDs
|
|
58
|
+
gemini --list-sessions
|
|
59
|
+
|
|
60
|
+
# Delete a specific session by ID or index
|
|
61
|
+
gemini --delete-session 1
|
|
62
|
+
```
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
## How to rewind time (Undo mistakes)
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
Gemini CLI's **Rewind** feature is like `Ctrl+Z` for your workflow.
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
### Scenario: Triggering rewind
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
At any point in a chat, type `/rewind` or press **Esc** twice.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
### Scenario: Choosing a restore point
|
|
73
|
+
|
|
74
|
+
You'll see a list of your recent interactions. Select the point _before_ the
|
|
75
|
+
undesired changes occurred.
|
|
76
|
+
|
|
77
|
+
### Scenario: Choosing what to revert
|
|
78
|
+
|
|
79
|
+
Gemini gives you granular control over the undo process. You can choose to:
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
1. **Rewind conversation:** Only remove the chat history. The files stay
|
|
82
|
+
changed. (Useful if the code is good but the chat got off track).
|
|
83
|
+
2. **Revert code changes:** Keep the chat history but undo the file edits.
|
|
84
|
+
(Useful if you want to keep the context but retry the implementation).
|
|
85
|
+
3. **Rewind both:** Restore everything to exactly how it was.
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
## How to fork conversations
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
Sometimes you want to try two different approaches to the same problem.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
1. Start a session and get to a decision point.
|
|
92
|
+
2. Save the current state with `/chat save decision-point`.
|
|
93
|
+
3. Try your first approach.
|
|
94
|
+
4. Later, use `/chat resume decision-point` to fork the conversation back to
|
|
95
|
+
that moment and try a different approach.
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
This creates a new branch of history without losing your original work.
