Subject: [PATCH] aider: Implemented loading .env file specified by command
 line argument.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: do the todo

ASSISTANT: To implement the TODO item in `aider/main.py` about loading a .env file, we can make the following changes:

1. Add the python-dotenv package to the imports.
2. Load the .env file specified by args.env_file using dotenv.load_dotenv().

Here are the *SEARCH/REPLACE* blocks to make those changes:

aider/main.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
import configparser
import os
import sys
from pathlib import Path

import git
import litellm
from streamlit.web import cli
=======
import configparser
import os
import sys
from pathlib import Path

import git
import litellm
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from streamlit.web import cli
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

aider/main.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH
    # todo: load .env using filename args.env_file
=======
    if args.env_file:
        load_dotenv(args.env_file)
>>>>>>> REPLACE
```

This will load the environment variables from the specified .env file, if provided via the `--env-file` command line argument.

Note: You'll need to install the `python-dotenv` package for this to work, e.g. via `pip install python-dotenv`.
