About
Aider is a terminal-based AI coding assistant that edits project files with model assistance and uses repository context to guide changes.
Key Features
- Work on code, configuration and documentation through a conversation.
- Use a repository map to provide structural context about the codebase.
Use Cases
Read project context, make code changes and review the results in a coding-agent workflow.
Setup or Requirements
Install with python -m pip install aider-install, then run aider-install. Open the intended repository and launch aider with the model provider configuration from the official guide. Provider credentials and usage costs depend on that selection.
Limitations
The repository map is a built-in context feature. File edits and Git operations apply to the project you open.
