`aider` is a command-line chat tool that allows you to write and edit
code with OpenAI's GPT models. You can ask GPT to help you start
a new project, or modify code in your existing git repo.
Aider makes it easy to git commit, diff & undo changes proposed by GPT without copy/pasting.

It also has features that [help GPT-4 understand and modify larger codebases](https://aider.chat/docs/ctags.html).

## Tips
* Think about which files need to be edited to make your change and add them to the chat.
Aider has some ability to help GPT figure out which files to edit all by itself, but the most effective approach is to explicitly add the needed files to the chat yourself.
Aider has some ability to help GPT figure out which files to edit all by itself, but the most effective approach is to explicitly add the needed files to the chat yourself.
* Large changes are best performed as a sequence of thoughtful bite sized steps, where you plan out the approach and overall design. Walk GPT through changes like you might with a junior dev. Ask for a refactor to prepare, then ask for the actual change. Spend the time to ask for code quality/structure improvements.
* Use Control-C to safely interrupt GPT if it isn't providing a useful response. The partial response remains in the conversation, so you can refer to it when you reply to GPT with more information or direction.
* Use the `/run` command to run tests, linters, etc and show the output to GPT so it can fix any issues.
