Gemini CLI ​

Gemini CLI is Google's command-line interface for Gemini models. Environment variable support for custom endpoints is still evolving upstream.

Mode ​

Direct mode only (Beta). Gemini CLI's support for a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL is still evolving upstream — the variable name has changed across releases. Check the project README for the current configuration before relying on this.

1. Set environment variables ​

At minimum, set your Corveil virtual key as the Gemini API key. If your version of the CLI supports an OpenAI-compatible base URL override, also set it to your Corveil endpoint:

bash
export GEMINI_API_KEY="sk-citadel-your-key-here"
# If your gemini-cli release supports it, also export a base URL such as:
#   export GEMINI_BASE_URL="https://your-corveil-host/v1"
# Check the upstream README for the exact variable name in your version.

2. Launch Gemini CLI ​

bash
gemini

Troubleshooting ​

  • Env vars not recognized: Gemini CLI's env var support is evolving. Check the project README for the latest configuration options
  • 401 Unauthorized: Verify GEMINI_API_KEY is a valid Corveil virtual API key
