Google releases Gemini CLI with free Gemini 2.5 Pro

Google has released Gemini 2.5 Pro-powered Gemini CLI, which allows you to use Gemini inside your terminal, including Windows Terminal.

Gemini CLI is written in Typecript and it works across all platforms, including Windows, macOS and Linux.

If you’re a developer, you can follow Gemini CLI’s guidelines and plug it into scripts and extend capabilities of existing tools.

For example, if you use Cursor AI or Windsurf, you can integrate Gemini CLI and aid your vibe coding.

To use Gemini CLI, open a terminal window and run the command npx https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli.

Once done, select the theme and link your Google account to begin using the AI inside the terminal.

You can link a Google account to Gemini CLI to unlock features like a 1-million context window, 60 model requests per minute, and up to 1,000 requests per day

If you want to run multiple agents or use it for proper development, Google recommends using Gemini Code Assist.
