About Aider
Aider is a terminal-native AI coding assistant that integrates with Git repositories, allowing developers to collaborate with various Large Language Models (LLMs) to write, edit, and debug code. It builds a semantic map of the codebase for context, automatically commits changes with descriptive messages, supports multi-file editing, and features an 'architect mode' for complex refactoring. The tool also includes capabilities for voice coding, linting, and testing.
