Summary of Changes
Hello @allenhutchison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly enhances the Gemini CLI by integrating new functionalities aimed at streamlining common developer tasks. The additions focus on improving documentation discovery, simplifying Git branch management, and automating aspects of the pull request review process, alongside necessary adjustments to version control ignore rules to support these new features.
Highlights
- New Commands Introduced: Three new commands have been added to the Gemini CLI: "find-docs" for locating documentation, "github/cleanup-back-to-main" for automating feature branch cleanup, and "oncall/pr-review" for comprehensive pull request reviews.
- .gitignore Updates: The .gitignore file has been modified to allow tracking of files within the .gemini/commands directory and its subdirectories, while also adding a rule to ignore all other .gemini directories not at the repository root.

Code Review
This pull request introduces new commands and updates the .gitignore file to support them. The changes to .gitignore are functionally correct, but I've suggested an improvement to make the rules clearer and more robust, which is an important quality for repository-wide configuration like this. This change will improve maintainability and reduce the chance of future errors.

Had some suggestions that could apply to other files too if you wanted. BUT only suggestions aren't necessary!

You could potentially utilize inlined shell commands (i.e. !{...}) to do a lot of your workflow. I.e. you could run git status or other commands. Could also have it do a grep for .md / .mdx files ahead of time too.
