# Gemini CLI
Within Gemini CLI, `packages/cli` is the frontend for users to send and receive
prompts with the Gemini AI model and its associated tools. For a general
overview of Gemini CLI, see the [main documentation page](../index.md).
## Basic features
- **[Commands](./commands.md):** A reference for all built-in slash commands
- **[Custom Commands](./custom-commands.md):** Create your own commands and
shortcuts for frequently used prompts.
- **[Headless Mode](./headless.md):** Use Gemini CLI programmatically for
scripting and automation.
- **[Model Selection](./model.md):** Configure the Gemini AI model used by the
CLI.
- **[Settings](./settings.md):** Configure various aspects of the CLI's behavior
and appearance.
- **[Themes](./themes.md):** Customizing the CLI's appearance with different
themes.
- **[Keyboard Shortcuts](./keyboard-shortcuts.md):** A reference for all
keyboard shortcuts to improve your workflow.
- **[Tutorials](./tutorials.md):** Step-by-step guides for common tasks.
## Advanced features
- **[Checkpointing](./checkpointing.md):** Automatically save and restore
snapshots of your session and files.
- **[Enterprise Configuration](./enterprise.md):** Deploying and manage Gemini
CLI in an enterprise environment.
- **[Sandboxing](./sandbox.md):** Isolate tool execution in a secure,
containerized environment.
- **[Telemetry](./telemetry.md):** Configure observability to monitor usage and
performance.
- **[Token Caching](./token-caching.md):** Optimize API costs by caching tokens.
- **[Trusted Folders](./trusted-folders.md):** A security feature to control
which projects can use the full capabilities of the CLI.
- **[Ignoring Files (.geminiignore)](./gemini-ignore.md):** Exclude specific
files and directories from being accessed by tools.
- **[Context Files (GEMINI.md)](./gemini-md.md):** Provide persistent,
hierarchical context to the model.
## Non-interactive mode
Gemini CLI can be run in a non-interactive mode, which is useful for scripting
and automation. In this mode, you pipe input to the CLI, it executes the
command, and then it exits.
The following example pipes a command to Gemini CLI from your terminal:
```bash
echo "What is fine tuning?" | gemini
```
You can also use the `--prompt` or `-p` flag:
```bash
gemini -p "What is fine tuning?"
```
For comprehensive documentation on headless usage, scripting, automation, and
advanced examples, see the **[Headless Mode](./headless.md)** guide.
