Jules extension for Gemini CLI lets you delegate coding tasks to the Jules asynchronous agent. This allows you to offload work and track its progress without blocking your terminal.
Some examples of tasks you can assign to Jules are:
- Bug fixing
- Code refactoring
- Dependency version updates
- Documentation maintenance
Jules works on these tasks in the background. Once the work is complete, Jules can submit the changes to a new branch on your GitHub repository. More at jules.google/docs.
Before using the Jules extension, you need to:
- Have a Jules Account: You can sign up at jules.google.com.
- Connect Your Repository: Connect your GitHub repository to your Jules account.
Install the Jules extension by running the following command from your terminal (requires Gemini CLI v0.4.0 or newer):
gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/jules --auto-updateThe --auto-update is optional: if specified, it will update to new versions as they are released.
To initiate a Jules task, you must use the /jules command followed by your prompt. For example:
/jules add missing unit tests to my repoOnce you start a task with /jules, the extension will work in the background to complete it. To check the status of a task, use the /jules command with a query about the task.
For example:
/jules what is the status of my last task?Tip
Gemini CLI will automatically install the Jules CLI if it's not already available. If the installation requires sudo permissions (e.g., sudo npm install ...), you will be prompted for your password. To enter it, press CTRL+F to switch focus to the interactive shell prompt.
