# Welcome to the Gemini CLI Documentation

This documentation provides a comprehensive guide to installing, using, and developing the Gemini CLI tool. Gemini CLI allows you to interact with Gemini models through a powerful and flexible command-line interface.

## Overview

The Gemini CLI is a tool designed to bring the capabilities of Gemini models to your terminal. It consists of a client-side application (`packages/cli`) that communicates with a local server (`packages/server`), which in turn interacts with the Gemini API. The CLI supports a variety of tools for file system operations, code execution, web fetching, and more, enhancing your workflow with AI-powered assistance.
