What it does

Aider is an open source coding agent that runs in the terminal against a local git repository, using your own API key for a model from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic or DeepSeek, or a local model. You ask for a change in chat, by voice, or by leaving a comment in your editor in watch mode; it maps the codebase, edits the files, runs linters and tests and commits with a generated message. It is published under the Apache-2.0 licence and installed with pip.
