Aider
Terminal-based open-source AI pair programmer that edits your local git repo directly from the command line.
OVERVIEW
About Aider
Aider runs in your terminal and edits files in your actual git repository, committing changes as it goes so every AI edit is tracked in version history. It appeals to developers who prefer a command-line workflow over a GUI editor and want tight control over what gets changed.
