Aider

Open-source terminal pair programmer with git-native workflows

Aider (v0.86.1) is an open-source AI pair programming tool that runs in the terminal and keeps your workflow inside git. It can automatically create sensible commits, apply diff-based edits across multiple files, and map your repository to work on large projects. Aider works best with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1/V3, OpenAI GPT-4.1 and o3/o4-mini, and Gemini 2.5 Pro, while also supporting many other cloud and local models (via OpenRouter, Ollama, and direct API keys).
