This Neovim plugin provides direct bindings to Google's Gemini API, enabling advanced AI-powered coding assistance within the editor. It targets Neovim users seeking to enhance their development workflow through features like intelligent code completion, explanation, test generation, and code review, ultimately boosting productivity and code quality.

How It Works

The plugin interfaces with Google's Gemini API to offer a suite of AI-driven functionalities. Its core approach involves defining specific prompts and configurations for various coding tasks, allowing users to leverage Gemini models directly within their Neovim environment. This integration enables features such as real-time code completion, in-depth code explanations, automated unit test generation, and comprehensive code reviews, all managed through Neovim's familiar interface.

Quick Start & Requirements

Installation is supported via popular Neovim package managers like lazy.nvim and packer.nvim. A critical prerequisite is setting the GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable with your Google API key. The plugin requires Neovim and curl for API key setup.

{
  'kiddos/gemini.nvim',
  opts = {}
}

-- Example for packer.nvim
use { 'kiddos/gemini.nvim', opts = {} }
