I haven’t, thanks for mentioning it, looks quite interesting.
I’ve only used copilot and ChatGPT so far.

For transparency, I’ve not used it to write any Gargoyle code. I have used it to give me an idea when I’m stuck or find function syntax that I can’t remember.
I find that quite helpful rather than just googling it.

Please be respectful when posting. I do this in my free time on a volunteer basis.

Gemini CLI is a game changer.
While Gemini Pro runs in a sandboxed environment inside your browser, Gemini CLI works directly with files on your local machine.

You can still make manual edits if you prefer, or just say "git commit" — Gemini will even generate a meaningful commit message for you.

Even if you don't end up using it regularly, it's definitely worth trying out.

One tip: avoid asking it to do huge changes all at once — like rewriting your entire firewall. That tends to get messy. In my humble (or maybe bumble) opinion, it's much more effective when you guide it with small, focused prompts.
