gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Non-numbered lines [2 comments, 3 participants]

TL;DR

The Gemini CLI should be modified to provide an option for unnumbered responses to facilitate easy copy/pasting.

Guidance

• Investigate existing Gemini CLI options or flags that might control output formatting, such as a --no-numbers or --plain flag.
• Consider submitting a feature request to the Gemini CLI development team for an option to toggle numbered output on or off.
• If the Gemini CLI is open-source, explore contributing a patch to add this functionality directly.
• Research alternative methods for removing line numbers from output, such as using a text editor or a command-line tool like sed or awk.

Example

# Example of using sed to remove line numbers
gemini cli command | sed 's/^[0-9]*. //'

Notes

The feasibility of implementing this change may depend on the specific design and constraints of the Gemini CLI.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Utilize a command-line tool like sed to remove line numbers from the output, as shown in the example, until a native option is available.
