## Including git history in the context
When starting a fresh aider session, you can include recent git history in the chat context. This can be useful for providing the LLM with information about recent changes. To do this:
1. Use the `/run` command with `git diff` to show recent changes:
```
/run git diff HEAD~1
```
This will include the diff of the last commit in the chat history.
2. To include diffs from multiple commits, increase the number after the tilde:
```
/run git diff HEAD~3
```
This will show changes from the last three commits.
Remember, the chat history already includes recent changes made during the current session, so this tip is most useful when starting a new aider session and you want to provide context about recent work.
## Interrupting & inputting
Use Control-C to interrupt aider if it isn't providing a useful response. The partial response remains in the conversation, so you can refer to it when you reply with more information or direction.
