geminiai-cli 16.0.0

Gemini AI CLI Tool for automation

Gemini AI Automation Tool

The Swiss Army Knife for Gemini AI Automation - Backups, Cloud Sync, and Account Management.

geminiai-cli is a powerful, "batteries-included" command-line interface designed to supercharge your Gemini AI experience. It handles backups (Local, S3, B2), synchronizes data across devices, manages multiple profiles, and intelligently tracks account usage to bypass rate limits.

✨ Features

Core Capabilities

• 🛡️ God Level Backups: Securely backup your configuration and chat history to Local, AWS S3, or Backblaze B2 storage. Supports GPG Encryption for sensitive data.
• 🌍 Machine-Time Adaptive: Automatically detects and uses your system's local timezone for all calculations and displays. No more manual IST/UTC conversions.
• ☁️ Unified Cloud Sync: Seamlessly push and pull backups between your local machine and the cloud.

Smart Automation

• ⏱️ Smart Session Tracking: Tracks "First Used" timestamps to accurately predict Gemini's 24-hour rolling quota resets.
• 🧠 Intelligent Rotation: Automatically recommends the "healthiest" account based on session start times and Least Recently Used (LRU) logic.
• 🛡️ Accident Protection: Safeguards your session data by preventing accidental account switches from resetting your 24-hour quota clock.

Diagnostics & Management

• 📊 Visual Analytics: View beautiful, terminal-based bar charts of your usage history and account health.
• 🩺 Doctor Mode: Built-in diagnostic tool to validate your environment, dependencies, and configuration health.
• 🧹 Auto-Pruning: Automatically cleans up old backups and temporary files to keep your storage efficient.

🏗️ Architecture

The geminiai-cli is built with modularity and extensibility in mind.

Data Flow

1. User Input: CLI args are parsed by args.py and routed by cli.py.
2. Configuration: Settings are loaded from settings_cli.py (merging Env, CLI, and Config).
3. Action:
   • Backup: Compresses ~/.gemini, encrypts (optional), and uploads via CloudFactory.
   • Restore: Fetches list from cloud/local, decrypts, and extracts to ~/.gemini.
   • Recommendation: Queries cooldown.py for account status and selects the LRU "Ready" account.
4. Persistence: Usage stats and cooldowns are saved to JSON files in ~/.geminiai-cli.

🐞 Troubleshooting

Error Message	Possible Cause	Solution
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'geminiai_cli'	Installation issue.	Run pip install -e . or ensure you are in the correct venv.
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key	Missing GPG key or wrong password.	Ensure GEMINI_BACKUP_PASSWORD is set or the GPG key is imported.
ClientError: An error occurred (403) ...	AWS/B2 Credentials invalid.	Check your GEMINI_* env vars or ~/.aws/credentials.
Permission denied: '~/.gemini'	File permission issues.	Run chown -R $USER ~/.gemini or check directory permissions.

Debug Mode: Currently, you can increase verbosity by inspecting the logs or running with standard python tracebacks enabled (default).
