To myself, I say it like the first choice, except with a short 'i" instead of long, i.e., g mick.

I pronounce it as in gimik. I do look at the ' in G’MIC.

/Gimmick/, and ‘clang’ is pronounced /klang/ as in klangfarbenmelodie.
I, a·f·r·e, pronounce it as G·M·I·C because that is what I type into the C·L·I. gimmick may be easier to say but I dislike the negative connotations.
Thanks @David_Tschumperle* and friends for G’MIC.

I pronounce it the Klingon way, with the /x/ (?, my IPA is out of date) from “gagh”

Indeed, every time I see G'MIC, I think of the law of alien names and punctuation shaker tropes. I should really get around to renaming my handle to a-f're.
gə 'mɪk (guh MICK), like GNU in GNU/Linux where the hard G is pronounced.
I know it may be wrong, but in my head, I’ve always seen G’MIC as giimmick. lololol
G-MIC is fine, too, but I’ll stick with mentally pronouncing it gimmick. To each his or her own.
My eyes tell me to think guh-MICK.

I used to pronounce it GEE-MICK until I started hanging out with you in person and heard you say Guh-MICK.
