Aider is a free, open-source AI pair programming tool for software developers that runs in the terminal.
Aider is an open-source command-line tool that lets a developer pair-program with large language models to edit code held in a local git repository. It installs as a Python package, is distributed under the Apache-2.0 license, and connects to models from multiple providers as well as locally hosted models, with users supplying their own API keys. A repository map built with tree-sitter gives the model context across larger codebases, and Aider can work across more than one hundred programming languages.
Changes are handled through git: Aider automatically commits the edits it makes with descriptive messages, so developers can review, manage, or undo them. It also offers an IDE watch mode, voice-to-code input, the ability to use images and web pages as context, and hooks that run linters and tests with automatic fixing. The tool is developed by Aider AI LLC and published on GitHub.
