FAQPage Schema
How do I configure Gemini CLI settings for a specific project?▼

How do I enable trusted folders in the Gemini CLI?▼

You can enable and manage trusted folders in the Gemini CLI by configuring your settings files, ensuring the CLI only executes commands within explicitly authorized directories to maintain strict security boundaries.

What is configuration precedence when using GEMINI environment variables?▼

Configuration precedence in the Gemini CLI determines how `GEMINI_*` environment variables override project-specific and global `settings.json` values, allowing you to troubleshoot unexpected behavior when multiple configuration layers intersect.

How do I set up Policy Engine rules for Gemini CLI execution control?▼

Setting up Policy Engine rules for Gemini CLI execution control involves defining specific constraints in your configuration files to govern how the CLI operates and manages actions within your environment.

Can I configure UI and telemetry settings globally for Gemini CLI?▼

Yes, you can configure UI and telemetry settings globally for Gemini CLI by adjusting the preferences within your global `~/.gemini/settings.json` file to customize interface behavior and data collection.

Why are my project-specific Gemini CLI settings not overriding global defaults?▼

Project-specific Gemini CLI settings in `.gemini/settings.json` might not override global defaults due to configuration precedence rules or `GEMINI_*` environment variables taking priority over your defined file configurations.
