Why would someone use this over aider?

Disclaimar: I haven't used aider in probably a year. I found Aider to require much more understanding to use properly. Claude code _just works_, more or less out of the box. Assuming the Gemini team took cues from CC—I'm guessing it's more user-friendly than Aider.

Again, I haven't used aider in a while so perhaps that's not the case.

Hi - I work on this. Uptake is a steep curve right now, spare a thought for the TPUs today. Appreciate all the takes so far, the team is reading this thread for feedback. Feel free to pile on with bugs or feature requests we'll all be reading.

Hi, Thanks for this work.

currently it seems these are the CLI tools available. Is it possible to extend or actually disable some of these tools (for various reasons)?

    - FindFiles
    - Edit

Ugh, I really wish this had been written in Go or Rust. Just something that produces a single binary executable and doesn't require you to install a runtime like Node.

This isn't about quality products, it's about being able to say you have a CLI tool because the other ai companies have one

Fast following is a reasonable strategy. Anthropic provided the existence proof. It’s an immensely useful form factor for AI.

I really wish these AI companies would STOP innovating until they work out how to let us “download all files” on the chat page.

We are now three years into the AI revolution and they are still forcing us to copy and paste and click click crazy to get the damn files out.

STOP innovating. STOP the features.

Form a team of 500 of your best developers. Allocate a year and a billion dollar budget.

Get all those Ai super scientists into the job.

See if you can work out “download all files”. A problem on the scale of AGI or Dark Matter, but one day google or OpenAI will crack the problem.

I also work on the product. You can extend the tools with MCP. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/blob/main/docs/t...

So, as a member of an organization who pays for google workspace with gemini, I get the message `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT environment variable not found. Add that to your .env and try again, no reload needed!`

At the very least, we need better documentation on how to get that environment variable, as we are not on GCP and this is not immediately obvious how to do so. At the worst, it means that your users paying for gemini don't have access to this where your general google users do.

Sweet, I love Claude and was raring to try out their CLI that dropped a few days ago, but don't have a sub. This looks to be free

"Failed to login. Ensure your Google account is not a Workspace account."

Is your vision with Gemini CLI to be geared only towards non-commercial users? I have had a workspace account since GSuite and have been constantly punished for it by Google offerings all I wanted was gmail with a custom domain and I've lost all my youtube data, all my fitbit data, I cant select different versions of some of your subscriptions (seemingly completely random across your services from a end-user perspective), and now as a Workspace account I cant use Gemini CLI for my work, which is software development. This approach strikes me as actively hostile towards your loyal paying users...
