Tips

  • Non-interactive mode still needs auth: log in once interactively, or set TABNINE_TOKEN as a personal access token.
  • Reference files or dirs with @ so Tabnine reads project context before answering or editing.
  • /model switches the underlying model mid-session; pick faster or stronger by task.

FAQ

How is Tabnine CLI related to the IDE plugin?

Same account system; the CLI is the terminal extension of the plugin for asking, reading, writing, and reviewing code without opening the editor.

How to auth in non-interactive mode?

Log in once interactively to persist credentials; in CI set TABNINE_TOKEN as a personal access token (takes precedence) to run headless.
