This commit refactors the `usageStatisticsEnabled` setting from a sub-property of the `telemetry` configuration to a top-level setting. This change simplifies the configuration by decoupling usage statistics from the telemetry settings.
The documentation has also been updated to reflect this change.
Moves the telemetry.md file from docs/core to the top-level docs/ directory to make it more discoverable.
Updates the link in the main index.md and removes the old reference from the CLI configuration page.
As noted in Issue #1189, the /stats command is missing. While we're here, alphabetizing the / commands makes sense in order to better organization the page.
Most notably, the list of available themes didn't match (in completeness or name) the examples provided at the end of the file (nor the listing I found in /packages/cli/src/ui/themes)
This content looks like it is better hosted in the themes.md doc.
This is as close as possible to an as-is cut-paste from one file to the other, with the goal of minimizing fine-grained review in this particular PR. I'll take another pass through themes.md specifically to improve the moved content in a follow up PR
#750
Renames project ID for telemetry from `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` to `OTLP_GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT`.
This change allows for a separate Google Cloud Project to be used for telemetry data, distinct from the project used for other services like Vertex AI or Code Assist. This enhances clarity and flexibility in project configuration.
Related to https://b.corp.google.com/issues/423605555 - I figured this might be a simpler solution to start with, while still also being useful on its own even if we do implement that.
Make a pass through the docs/deployment.md file to hopefully improve readability and conciseness
Notably, I've proposed axing both the "Core Features" section - which feels too promotional this far down the folder hierarchy and which is somewhat repetitive to later in the page - and the "Basic Interaction" section - which is covered better, and makes more sense, in other parts of the documentation
This commit adds a new `tutorials.md` file to the CLI documentation.
This section is intended to house various tutorials for using Gemini CLI.
The initial content includes a tutorial on setting up Model Context
Protocol (MCP) servers, using the GitHub MCP server as an example.
The `docs/cli/index.md` has been updated to include a link to this
new tutorials section.
This commit introduces the ability to use system environment variables
within the settings files (e.g., `settings.json`). Users can now
reference environment variables using the `${VAR_NAME}` syntax.
This enhancement improves security and flexibility, particularly
for configurations like MCP server settings, which often require
sensitive tokens.
Previously, to configure an MCP server, a token might be directly
embedded:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "pat_abc123"
}
// ...
}
}
```
With this change, the same configuration can securely reference an
environment variable:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "${GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
}
// ...
}
}
```
This allows users to avoid storing secrets directly in configuration files.
