A terminal coding agent that edits files and commits every change to git, with a repo-map for navigating large codebases.
Strengths
- Every change is a git commit for trivial rollback
- BYOK with any model, including local
Tradeoffs
- Terminal-only, no IDE UI
- Steep for non-CLI users
What people say
What people who use Aider actually say, pulled from verified sources and ranked by what's new.
Aider's repo-map is what lets it scale to large codebases without dumping every file into context.
Because Aider commits every change, your git history becomes an audit log and rollback is a single command.
