Gemini (Bard) CLI

Use Gemini in your CLI!

Installation

askg (fromerly bard-cli) has two component: askgd and askg. askgd is the daemon that runs and always listens on localhost:12345 for RPC requests. askg is the client that sends the requests to the daemon.

Install the daemon

go install github.com/mosajjal/askg/cmd/askgd@latest

askgd can run in two modes: browser and API. the API method is far more stable and reliable than the browser method. In browser mode, all your Google.com cookies are saved on disk (~/.askgbrowser.yml) so it's also inherintly less safe than API.

API mode

first, grab an API key from Google AI studio and set it as an environment variable, then the daemon can be run using the following command

$ export ASKG_API_KEY="your_api_key"
$ askgd runapi

Browser mode

in order to run the daemon, first run the browser subcommand to open a browser and login to gemini.google.com. currently only Chrome is supported. Make sure that you open the browser, login to gemini.google.com, fully close all the browser sessions, and then run the browser subcommand.

$ askgd browser

then run the daemon using the following command

$ askgd run

the daemon will now listen on localhost:12345 for RPC requests, it also rotates and commits cookies automatically.

Install the client

go install github.com/mosajjal/askg/cmd/askg@latest

$ askg "what is the meaning of life?"
The meaning of life is a question that has been asked by philosophers and theologians for centuries. There is no one answer that will satisfy everyone, but some possible answers include:

* To find happiness and fulfillment.
* To make a difference in the world.
* To learn and grow as a person.
* To connect with others and build relationships.
* To experience the beauty of the world.
* To leave a legacy behind.

Ultimately, the meaning of life is up to each individual to decide. There is no right or wrong answer, and what matters most is that you find something that gives your life meaning.

Here are some additional thoughts on the meaning of life:

* The meaning of life is not something that is given to us, but something that we create.
* The meaning of life is not something that we find once and for all, but something that we discover and rediscover throughout our lives.
* The meaning of life is not something that is the same for everyone, but something that is unique to each individual.

If you are searching for the meaning of life, I encourage you to explore your own values, beliefs, and experiences. What is important to you? What makes you happy? What do you want to achieve in your life? The answers to these questions may help you to find your own meaning in life.

Use a Proxy

To use a HTTP(s) or SOCKS4/5 proxy to access Google, set HTTP_PROXY as well as HTTPS_PROXY environment variables before running askgd.

Use as a neovim plugin

in your neovim config, add the following plugin

Plug 'mosajjal/askg', {'rtp': 'nvim'}

by default, the plugin looks for askg in $HOME/go/bin/askg and the configuration file at $HOME/.askg.yaml

to change that, run the setup function of Gemini using the following

lua require('askg').setup({askg_path="$HOME/go/bin/askg", askg_config_path="$HOME/.askg.yaml"})

Usage

:Askg "write hello world in javascript"

the above will open a new vsplit and return the results in the new buffer
