I ran into this issue today at DevFest Workshop Secure GitHub Workflow with Gemini CLI by Tianzi Cai & Rody Davis, Google.

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds automatic configuration of the GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI variable during the Workload Identity Federation setup process. This ensures that workflows using Vertex AI authentication will have the required variable set correctly.

• Adds GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI variable to the automated GitHub variable setup when the gh CLI is available

The new GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI variable is set automatically when gh CLI is available, but it's not included in the manual setup instructions in the else block (lines 462-477). Users without the gh CLI won't know to set this variable manually. Consider adding documentation for this variable in the else block, similar to the other variables.

🟡 Consider clarifying how to 'use GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_GCA'. The current phrasing might imply setting GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_GCA to true, but it's not explicitly stated as it is for GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_VERTEXAI. Perhaps something like 'or set GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_GCA to 'true' for Code Assist'.

Suggested change

	echo " (Set to 'true' to use Vertex AI, or use GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_GCA for Code Assist)"
	echo " (Set to 'true' to use Vertex AI, or set GOOGLE_GENAI_USE_GCA to 'true' for Code Assist)"
