Gen CLI is an open source command line tool based on a fork of Google's Gemini CLI, designed for developers to provide AI functionality through the terminal. It inherits the core functionality of Gemini CLI while adding support for AI models such as DeepSeek, enabling developers to use natural language to generate code, automate development tasks or interact with AI.
The key difference is this:
- Gen CLI extends AI model support, especially DeepSeek models
- Enhanced code generation and task processing capabilities while maintaining original functionality
- It remains open source and developers are free to contribute.
This tool is for programmers looking to improve development efficiency, supports multi-platform operation, and integrates seamlessly with traditional development toolchains.
