Session Resume

Resume Last Session

Quick Decision Tree

What do you want to do?

1. Resume last session -> gemini --resume or gemini -r
2. Browse past sessions -> /resume in active session
3. Configure retention -> Edit sessionRetention in settings.json
4. List all sessions -> gemini --list-sessions
5. Delete session -> gemini --delete-session <id>
6. Set turn limits -> Configure maxSessionTurns

Best Practices

1. Regular cleanup: Configure retention to avoid disk bloat
2. Name sessions: Use descriptive prompts for easy browsing
3. Resume for context: Continue complex conversations
4. Delete sensitive: Remove sessions with sensitive data
