New AI Coding Teammate: Gemini CLI GitHub Actions

news.ycombinator.com Jerop Kipruto 2025-12-03 00:28:46

In June, we launched Gemini CLI, an open-source AI agent that brings the power of Gemini to your terminal. The enthusiastic adoption from developers has been incredible. To keep up with the flood of feature requests and contributions, we put our own tool to the test — using Gemini CLI to automate issue triage and pull request reviews. When community members noticed our new workflows, they asked us to share what we’ve built. Today, we’re introducing Gemini CLI GitHub Actions. It’s a no-cost, pow

In #2795 there are some discuss about the BLOBs in Ventoy. For a long time, I devoted my limited spare time to adding new features and fixing bugs and didn't get around to considering this. It should be noted firstly that Ventoy is 100% open souce and everything is transparent. Some binary files are directly get from other open source projects and Ventoy directly use them and don't need any change by default.

One of the issues we have with .PNG is slow read/write times.

But my coworkers weren’t satisfied with that solution, since it required users to change a single line of code. Apart from the user experience, maintaining these forks steadily turned into a nightmare for us. We kept at it for a while, but eventually reached an in
