Overview

About this course.

This course dives deep into enterprise-grade workflows using Gemini CLI. Learners master million-token context ingestion for whole-repository analysis, integrate multimodal UI diagrams and PDFs into terminal workflows, build self-correcting test-driven development (TDD) loops, and script headless AI automation steps inside Git hooks and CI/CD runners.

Objectives

What you'll learn

  • Exploit Gemini's 1M+ token context window for full-repository reasoning and architecture mapping.
  • Perform multimodal analysis in terminal workflows using local images, diagrams, and PDFs.
  • Build automated testing loops where Gemini CLI fixes failing test suites autonomously.
  • Manage token optimization, context compaction, and cost efficiency in long sessions.
  • Implement structured JSON schema generation for automated pipeline steps.

Audience

Who it's for

  • Intermediate to Advanced Developers
  • Systems Architects
  • Technical Leads

1. Massive Context Window Strategy & Repo Mapping

  • Leveraging 1M+ token windows for large codebase ingestion
  • Token usage analytics, context window limits, and cost monitoring
  • Summarizing legacy codebases, monolithic repos, and multi-file dependencies
  • Context compaction techniques and session state preservation
  • Hands-on: Ingesting an Entire Legacy Repository for Structural Analysis
  • Hands-on: Generating Architectural Diagrams and Onboarding Guides from Code

2. Multimodal Terminal Workflows & Media Analysis

  • Feeding local assets to Gemini CLI: Mockups, architecture diagrams, and PDFs
  • Extracting UI/UX specs from design images directly into frontend code
  • Analyzing diagnostic charts, log dumps, and visual error reports
  • Combining text context files (@file) with visual assets
