has made yet their Gemini CLI tool
0:02
completely free. So recently this news
0:05
was published and uh if you check out
0:07
their GitHub repository simply type
0:09
Gemini CLI GitHub the very first website
0:12
which comes this is their open-source uh
0:15
uh GitHub terminal GitHub repo. It's got
0:18
almost 75,000
0:20
stars. So this is their official uh
0:23
terminal agent in competition to claude
0:26
code. So it's totally free as opposed to
0:29
claude which is a paid subscription
0:30
based service. So this actually allows
0:33
up in the free plan it allows up to send
0:36
60 requests per minute and thousand
0:38
requests per day with your personal
0:40
Google Google accounts. This is more
0:42
than enough to actually try out and
0:44
building your full stack application
0:46
directly from the terminal and it is
0:48
actually using the powerful Gemini 2.5
0:50
Pro model and it has access to 1 million
0:53
token context window. So now to install
0:56
this it's very easy. You should have
0:58
NodeJS installed inside your system. So
1:00
wherever you are developing your
1:02
application simply so let me just create
1:05
a new directory and show to you how to
1:07
install this. And uh let me just install
1:10
it right here.
1:13
Just open your command line and make
1:15
sure that you have NodeJS installed
1:17
inside your machine. So I have already
1:19
have the latest version of Node which is
1:22
22.17.0.
1:24
So right here you simply install this.
1:26
Copy this command and just paste it npm
1:30
install -ashg at the rate google/gemini-
1:35
cli. So simply install this by executing
1:38
this command and I have already
1:40
installed it. So once you install this,
1:43
it's available for Mac, Linux or
1:45
Windows. So you can check out the
1:47
releases section to actually install it
1:48
on Mac operating or Linux. So this is
1:51
specifically for Windows machines. So I
1:54
have already installed it. So once yes
1:56
it is installed simply type Gemini for
2:00
the very first time it will ask for the
2:01
authentication and uh
2:05
I think yeah so I just need to execute
2:08
this command. So this will install the
2:09
Gemini CLI globally inside the system.
2:19
So after you do this you simply write
2:22
Gemini right here and no need to p
2:25
basically paste any API key. So no API
2:28
key management you basically guess in
2:30
totally 60 requests per minute or
2:33
thousand requests per day and uh
2:41
so once it is get installed you can
2:43
simply write Gemini in the terminal. So
2:46
just wait for the installation to
2:47
complete. So you install this by
2:50
executing that command.
3:00
It's very crazy. It's really powerful. I
3:03
personally tried this with a different
3:05
account and it's totally free. That's
3:07
the main part because earlier it was
3:10
actually a paid subscription service.
3:13
Now it is completely free. Anyone can
3:15
use it. So simply install this command,
3:18
execute this command
3:25
and you can even uh do you can directly
3:28
clone this repo or CD CD gemini CLA and
3:32
then give Gemini. This is the second way
3:34
by which you can clone the this G repo.
3:49
And there is one other extension you can
3:51
install in VS code uh which is called as
3:54
Gemini. If you just type here Gemini and
3:58
this this extension will come Gemini CLA
4:00
companion and just install this
4:03
extension and with the help of this you
4:05
can directly run Gemini CLA inside your
4:08
VS code terminal and just go to your
4:12
control shiftp to open command pallet
4:14
and simply type your Gemini CLA run. As
4:18
soon as you do this now it will start
4:20
the Gemini CLA directly inside your
4:22
machine.
4:24
So it will directly type Gemini in the
4:26
terminal and it will start the Gemini
4:29
tool.
4:31
So it will start this Gemini CLA
4:34
directly right here. So right here you
4:36
can ask any sort of question right here.
4:38
As you can see we are successfully
4:40
logged in using my Gemini 2.5 Pro model.
4:44
So 100% usage are left. So right here
4:47
you can ask any sort of question. Let me
4:49
say hi. So it will actually respond to
4:53
me. I am feeling lucky. So you will see
4:55
the sample message. Hi, what can I help
4:57
you with? So what I can do is that I can
4:59
simply tell Gemini CLI please build a
5:02
application build a
5:06
let's suppose
5:08
advanced image editor in browser and
5:14
make a editor HTML file and write all
5:19
the code. So now we are actually
5:23
building out a advanced image editor
5:25
right in the browser and directly this
5:28
Gemini CLI will create a editor HTML
5:31
file inside the current directory. You
5:34
can see step by step it is formulating
5:36
the structure. Now it is defining what
5:39
sort of technologies it will be doing.
5:42
So it's opening the file for us.
5:46
You can even ask follow-up questions as
5:48
well. So it is automatically laying out
5:50
the structure. So now it is creating
5:52
this editor HTML file here
5:56
directly. So from the command line uh
5:59
you actually can create any sort of
6:01
application. You can even fix out errors
6:03
inside your project as well. It will
6:05
scan your entire project and you can ask
6:07
follow-up questions as well related to
6:09
your project directly from your command
6:11
line.
6:13
So it's really easy. You can see that.
6:16
So it's building out this application.
6:20
So once it is completed, you will see
6:22
the live preview.
6:47
So you can even use their ordinary
6:50
terminal as well. Right here itself you
6:52
simply type Gemini. Uh you can see that
6:55
here also it will work.
6:58
So that extension that I showed you for
7:00
VS code
7:02
will open Gemini CLI right in the
7:04
integrated terminal. Here also you can
7:06
build out applications.
7:08
So where you can
7:13
first of all you simply go to the
7:15
directory
7:18
cd and our directory is sample project.
7:37
So here we can open the terminal section
7:39
and simply type Gemini.
7:50
So now you will see the Gemini CL will
7:53
directly open right here.
8:17
So we just need to build a image editor.
8:20
So we are simply telling the
8:21
instructions please create a file
8:23
image22.html and write all the code. So
8:26
now it is actually formulating a
8:28
blueprint and creating the necessary
8:31
application for us.
8:34
So it clearly show you all the so you
8:37
grant the permission here. So it
8:39
actually builds out this code for you
8:42
image 2.html
8:44
and uh you can actually open this
8:46
application right here.
8:51
So you can see this is your I can even
8:54
modify this as well. You can ask
8:55
follow-up question. Please modify this
8:58
to build a premium
9:02
Canva clone interface.
9:08
So right here you can ask or just ask
9:10
follow questions and then it will read
9:12
the entire file and modify the code to
9:15
actually according to your uh
9:18
requirements. It's very easy guys to use
9:20
Gemini CLI.
9:41
So you can see how easy it is. You can
9:44
modify it is modifying the code for us.
9:49
So once it is completed it has replaced
9:53
the necessary code here. So now you can
9:56
see it has modified this code here.
10:13
You can simply select any sort of image
10:15
that you want to edit.
10:33
So this is one use case guys of this.
10:38
So you can basically build any
10:40
application. This is just your limit
10:42
imagination. You simply whatever
10:44
application you want to write simply
10:46
write in the chat prompt and it's
10:48
completely free. You can use it. There
10:50
is no restriction on API key. So you can
10:55
use this for completely free.
