All You Need to Know About Google's Gemini CLI (10 Minute Tutorial)

I played around with new gemini-cli the last couple of days and here are the learnings I want to share with you:

✅ Planning system prompts with gemini.md files (thanks to Philipp Schmid brilliant setup guide!)

✅ MCP servers integration for rich context awareness

✅ FREE access to Gemini 2.5 Pro with 1 million token context window

✅ Use @ to reference specific files in your conversations for precise context!

to see exactly how I used Gemini CLI to debug and fix an actual bug in my Next.js application - from problem identification to solution implementation in minutes.

What are your thoughts on the new Gemini CLI compared to Claude Code? I'd love to hear your opinion in the comments :)
