What Just Happened?
Section titled “What Just Happened?”The installer:
- Installed the Python package — the
gee-codeCLI and its runtime - Set up the MCP server — the tool execution layer that gives the AI access to your filesystem, shell, and other capabilities
- Created config directories —
~/.gee-code/for global settings, credentials, and memory
Your API credentials, memory, and preferences are stored locally in ~/.gee-code/. Project-specific configuration lives in .gee/ within each project directory.
Optional: Install The Terminal (Recommended)
Section titled “Optional: Install The Terminal (Recommended)”The Terminal is the companion desktop app for Gee-Code, with built-in panels for browser, files, editor, git, and timeline workflow.
