GenCLI

GenCLI is an AI-powered CLI tool built with Golang that answers your questions using the Google Gemini API. It is developed with Cobra and Viper libraries.

📦 Features

• Dynamic Model selection: Choose from a variety of GenAI models to get the best results.
• Image Analysis: Get details about an image.
• Search: Ask a question and get a response.
• Update: easily update GenCLI to the latest version with a single command.
• Output Language: Get the response in your preferred language.
• Temperature: Control the creativity of the response.

🚀 Getting Started

To get started with GenCLI, you can install it using the following method:

Installation

To install the CLI, use the command below:

go install github.com/Pradumnasaraf/gencli@latest

Go will automatically install it in your $GOPATH/bin directory, which should be in your $PATH.

Usage

Once installed, you can use the gencli CLI command. To confirm installation, type gencli at the command line. All the CLI config (like current GenAI Model, etc) is store in ~/.gencli directory.

GenCLI uses the Google Gemini API, so you need to set the API key. To get the API key (It's FREE), visit here and set it in the environment variable GEMINI_API_KEY:

export GEMINI_API_KEY=<API_KEY>

The above method sets the API key for the current session only. To set it permanently, add the above line to your .bashrc or .zshrc file.

Note

If you encounter the error command not found: gencli, you need to add $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH environment variable. For more details, refer to this guide.
