There's something tempting about keeping everything in the cloud. No local installs, no dotfile mess, no dependency headaches.
When Gemini CLI showed up as the pretty much free terminal AI assistant (using Google's 2.5 pro muscle behind it), I still figured I'd give it a shot.
But here's the kicker: Use GitHub Codespace.
Just spin up a container, npm install -g @google/gemini-cli, set your API key in a secret environment, and you're coding with AI assistance in seconds. No Node.js version conflicts, no PATH issues, no "works on my machine" problems.
Tada. Thank me later.
