Google just dropped an update to Gemini CLI that's going to blow your mind. I'm talking interactive shells running inside your AI agent, custom/comands that automate your entire workflow, and a UI overhaul that makes your terminal look like a sci-fi movie. This isn't just an update. This is a complete game changer for developers. And I'm about to show you exactly how to use it to save hours every single day. Hey, if we haven't met already, I'm the digital avatar of Julian Goldie, CEO of SEO agency Goldie Agency. Whilst he's helping clients get more leads and customers, I'm here to help you get the latest AI updates. So, Gemini, I just got a massive update and it's actually crazy. If you're a developer or you work in the terminal at all, you need to hear this because what Google just did is kind of revolutionary. Let me break down what Gemini CLI is first. It's basically an AI agent that lives inside your terminal. You can chat with it, ask it questions, analyze code, run commands, but it can actually do stuff on your computer and it's open source. Now, here's where it gets wild. The new updates make it feel like a completely different tool. I'm talking three major changes that are going to change how you work. First up is interactive shell support, and this is huge. You can now run Vim inside Gemini CLI. You can run HDOP. You can run gate rebase. All those interactive terminal apps that you normally can't use in AI tools, they work perfectly. Now, here's why that matters. Before, if you wanted to edit a file, you'd have to exit Gemini CLI, open Vim, make your changes, then come back. Now, you can just open Vim right there inside the chat. Everything stays in context. They're using something called PTY, which stands for pseudo terminal. Your keystrokes go straight into the process. You can resize your terminal, and the app adapts. Colors work. syntax highlighting works. It's like running a real terminal inside your AI agent, and this is enabled by default in version 0. 9. 0. So, if you upgrade, you get it automatically. But wait, it gets better. The second major update is a complete UI overhaul. Version 0. 15. 0 just dropped and they rebuilt the entire rendering system. The terminal doesn't flicker anymore. When you resize your window, nothing breaks. The input prompt stays at the bottom where it should be. You can now click into the input prompt with your mouse. Before you had to use arrow keys for everything. Now you just click. They added sticky headers. So when you're scrolling through a long output, the important headlines stay visible. You don't lose context. The rendering is flicker-free now. Way smoother, way more stable. It actually feels professional. And your history is preserved. Even though they use alternate screen buffers. When you exit, your full chat history is still there. You can scroll back through everything. Now, the third update is where things get really interesting. Custom/comands. You can now create your own commands using TOML files. And these aren't just shortcuts. These are full-blown automation tools. Here's how it works. You create a file in your Gemini commands folder. You write a prompt in that file. You can use placeholders like args to pass in variables. And you can even run shell commands inside the prompt. So, imagine you type /pl. Gemini CLI takes your command, plugs it into your custom prompt, runs it, and gives you a full plan all from one command. Or you could create a /re command that takes your git diff, analyzes it, and gives you code review feedback, one command. Done. You can turn MCP prompts into slash commands. So if you're using a custom MCP server, all those prompts show up in Gemini CLI automatically. You can even namespace your commands. So you could have /getit commit and /getit push and slashgit review all organized in folders. This is huge for automation. You can build workflows. You can create reusable prompts. You can save hours every single day by turning repetitive tasks into oneline commands in version 0. 11. 0. They added more updates. You can stream JSON output now. Perfect for automation. They added a markdown toggle. You can edit cued messages with arrow keys. They improved web fetch for JSON APIs. And you can run slash commands non-interactively from scripts. Now, let me tell you why this all matters. Before these updates, using an AI agent in the terminal meant constant context switching. You'd ask a question, get an answer, then go do the work somewhere else. Now everything happens in one place. You ask, you act, you iterate, all in the same context. The UI improvements mean you actually want to use it. It's smooth, it's stable, feels good, and custom/comands mean you can build your own tools. You're not limited to what Google gives you. You can automate your exact workflow. This is what AI tooling should be. Flexible, powerful, actually useful. Now, before you go upgrade everything, let me give you some tips. First, back up your config folder is in your home directory undergemini. Second, check your version after upgrading. Run Gemini version to make sure you're on the latest third. Start simple with /ash commands. Don't try to build something crazy on day one. Make a basic command, test it, then add
complexity. Fourth, review your TOML files carefully, especially if you're running shell commands inside them. Don't run untrusted code. Um, you stay updated, follow the GitHub repo, check the change log. They're shipping new features constantly. Now, here's something you need to know. [gasps] There was some security concerns reported about Gemini CLI. Some articles mentioned a flaw that could let malicious commands run if you used untrusted files. So, be smart. Use best practices. Don't run random code. And let me tell you where this is all going. Because the future of this tool is wild. They're already working on click and drag scroll bars, better copy paste features, more UI polish. This isn't the final version. This is just the start. And here's what I think is going to happen. Gemini CLI is going to become the standard for AI agents in the terminal. Why? Because it's open source. It's flexible. It's powerful. And now it's actually pleasant to use. If you're not paying attention to this tool, you're missing out because the developers who adopt this early are going to have a massive edge over everyone else. They're going to be faster, more efficient, more productive while everyone else is still copying and pasting code from chat GPT.
