Aider#14
Terminal-based AI pair programmer that edits code in local git repositories with automated commits.
Aider is the benchmark for git-integrated terminal pair programming. Created by Paul Gauthier, Aider parses repository AST structures to build token-efficient repo maps, allowing frontier LLMs to edit local files cleanly. After every successful verification, Aider automatically generates descriptive git commits, preserving clean version histories.
