This package contains the core command-line interface for Gemini Code.
+## Setup
+
+1. **Get a Gemini API Key:** Obtain your API key from Google AI Studio: [https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)
+2. **Set Environment Variable:** Set the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable to your obtained key. You can do this temporarily in your current shell session:
+ ```bash
+ export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
+ ```
+ Or add it to your shell's configuration file (like `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or `~/.profile`) for persistence:
+ ```bash
+ echo 'export GEMINI_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"' >> ~/.bashrc # Or your preferred shell config file
+ source ~/.bashrc # Reload the config
+ ```
+ Replace `"YOUR_API_KEY"` with your actual key.
+
