What Gemini is
Gemini CLI is Google's open-source terminal agent, notable mainly for a free tier that a personal Google account unlocks with no card — the cheapest credible way to run an agent daily. It supports MCP, custom slash commands defined in TOML, checkpointing via /restore, and optional Docker or Seatbelt sandboxing. The official GitHub Action is how it reaches pull requests; the CLI itself stops at your working tree.
