Gemini CLI – Introducing Hooks blog → https://goo.gle/Gemini-Cli-Hooks
Last week at Google Cloud Live, we got started with the Gemini CLI, but now it’s time to automate your workflows and make the CLI an active part of your development lifecycle. Join host Greg Baugues and special guest Jack Wotherspoon for Unlocking Gemini CLI with skills, hooks & Plan Mode.
Watch us plan and implement a new app feature (and maybe even plan a surprise party) directly in the terminal.
Learn how to automatically lint your code and avoid writing secrets or passwords to your codebase. Discover how to create a skill to automate the task every developer hates: writing documentation.
