Why we included this project

Aider runs in the terminal and does something most AI coding tools don't: it hands the model real edits to your codebase instead of just discussing code. It maps your project first, so the model can find and change the right files, then commits each edit with a sensible message, which means you review and undo its work with the same git commands you already use. It works with most major cloud models and local ones too, and it supports a broad range of languages, so it fits teams that have a preferred model or need to keep code off external APIs. On top of plain edits it can lint and test after each change, take images or web pages as context, and even accept voice instructions. For developers who want a scriptable, git-native assistant they can drive from the command line or their editor, this is a solid daily tool.
