weaponsforge/gemini-cli repository overview

⁠gemini-cli

This repository contains Docker files and recommended configurations for a quick and minimal setup of the Google Gemini CLI⁠, installing it in an isolated container to avoid direct installation in a host machine.

GitHub Repository
https://github.com/weaponsforge/gemini-cli⁠

⁠Requirements

1. Docker
2. Google Gemini API Key
   • (you can obtain one from Google AI Studio⁠)

⁠Usage

1. Pull the "latest" development image.
   docker pull weaponsforge/gemini-cli

2. Create a .env file from the .env.example file. Replace the value of the GEMINI_API_KEY with your own Google Gemini API key.

3. Copy existing projects into sub-directories following the basic projects folder structure. It requires having the sub-project directories inside the /projects directory in the host machine, e.g.,
   

   ├─ .env
   ├─ projects
   │   ├─ my-app
   │   ├─ cool-website
   │   ├─ my-portfolio
   │   ├─ ...
   

   Copy

   WARNING: Avoid including the sub-projects' installation dependencies (e.g., /node_modules) to minimize the number of files/codes reflected in the Docker container (since it uses bind-mount.)

4. Run the development image.
   Navigate to the parent directory that contains the "project" directory and the .env file using a terminal, then run:

   # Using PowerShell
   docker run -it -v ${pwd}/projects:/opt/app/projects --env-file .env --rm weaponsforge/gemini-cli gemini
   

   Copy
