Can I use Gemini CLI for multi-step tasks?

Yes, by using the --resume flag followed by a session ID or 'latest', you can maintain context across multiple command invocations for complex workflows.

What is the difference between auto_edit and yolo modes?

auto_edit automatically applies file changes but prompts for shell commands, while yolo mode automatically approves both file and shell operations. yolo should only be used in sandboxed environments.

How do I restrict what files Gemini CLI can see?

Gemini uses an explicit consent model. You must use the --include-directories flag to grant the agent visibility into specific parts of your project.

How do I fix '0 occurrences found' errors during edits?

This usually happens when the model misjudges whitespace. You can fix this by enabling 'useSmartEdit': true in your .gemini/settings.json to allow for fuzzy matching.
