What is the purpose of the GEMINI.md file?

GEMINI.md acts as a persistent memory system for the AI, allowing it to store and recall user preferences, project facts, and common patterns across different sessions.

How do I change models in the Gemini CLI?

You can change models during a session using the /model command or specify a specific model at startup using the --model flag.

What does the --yolo flag do in Gemini CLI?

The --yolo flag enables automatic execution mode, which skips the confirmation prompts usually required before the AI runs shell commands or modifies files.

Can Gemini CLI perform real-time web searches?

Yes, it includes a built-in google_web_search tool that allows the AI to fetch and summarize information from the web to answer your queries with up-to-date data.
