# Context:
USER: should `aider --help` show the version now?
ASSISTANT: Yes, with the changes you made, running `aider --help` should show the version information. However, the version will be displayed when you run `aider --version`. The `--help` output will include a line mentioning the `--version` flag, but it won't directly show the version number.
USER: I ran this command:
aider --version
And got this output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/gauthier/Projects/aider/.venv/bin/aider", line 8, in <module>

TypeError: ArgumentParser.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'version'
ASSISTANT: I apologize for the confusion earlier. It seems I made a mistake. `configargparse` does not have a built-in `version` parameter like `argparse`. Instead, you can add a custom argument with the `--version` flag and handle it manually. Here's how you can modify your `aider/main.py` file:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,

auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
version=__version__,
)

parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--version",
action="store_true",
help="Show the version number and exit",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
args = parser.parse_args(args)
=======
args, unknown_args = parser.parse_known_args(args)
if args.version:
print(f"aider version {__version__}")
sys.exit(0)
# Re-parse the arguments to include unknown_args
args = parser.parse_args(args + unknown_args)
^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: can we add soemthing like this: parser.add_argument('-v', '--version', action='version', version='%(prog)s ' + __version__)
ASSISTANT: I apologize for the confusion earlier. It turns out that `configargparse` does support the `version` action, similar to `argparse`. You can add the `--version` argument as you suggested. Here's how you can modify your `aider/main.py` file:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
version=__version__,
)
=======
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
)
parser.add_argument(
"-v", "--version", action="version", version=f"%(prog)s {__version__}", help="Show the version number and exit"
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, running `aider --version` or `aider -v` will display the version number as expected.
# Context:
USER: now import `__version__` into main and pass it to `configargparse`
ASSISTANT: To import `__version__` into `aider/main.py` and pass it to `configargparse`, you can modify the `aider/main.py` file as follows:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
import os
import sys
import configargparse
import git
from aider import models
from aider.coder import Coder
from aider.io import InputOutput
=======
import os
import sys
import configargparse
import git
from aider import models, __version__
from aider.coder import Coder
from aider.io import InputOutput
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
)
=======
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider is GPT powered coding in your terminal",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
auto_env_var_prefix="AIDER_",
version=__version__,
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, the version from `aider/__init__.py` will be passed to `configargparse.ArgumentParser`, and it will be displayed in the help output when the user runs your tool with the `--version` flag.
# Context:
USER: we need to pass `openai_api_base` into Coder
ASSISTANT: To pass `openai_api_base` into the Coder class, you need to modify the `aider/main.py` file and update the Coder class instantiation. Here's the change you need to make:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
coder = Coder(
io,
main_model=args.model,
fnames=args.files,
pretty=args.pretty,
show_diffs=args.show_diffs,
auto_commits=args.auto_commits,
dirty_commits=args.dirty_commits,
dry_run=args.dry_run,
map_tokens=args.map_tokens,
verbose=args.verbose,
openai_api_key=args.openai_api_key,
)
=======
coder = Coder(
io,
main_model=args.model,
fnames=args.files,
pretty=args.pretty,
show_diffs=args.show_diffs,
auto_commits=args.auto_commits,
dirty_commits=args.dirty_commits,
dry_run=args.dry_run,
map_tokens=args.map_tokens,
verbose=args.verbose,
openai_api_key=args.openai_api_key,
openai_api_base=args.openai_api_base,
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, you also need to update the `__init__` method of the Coder class in the `aider/coder.py` file to accept the `openai_api_base` argument and use it:
```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
def __init__(
self,
io,
main_model=models.GPT4.name,
fnames=None,
pretty=True,
show_diffs=False,
auto_commits=True,
dirty_commits=True,
dry_run=False,
map_tokens=1024,
verbose=False,
openai_api_key=None,
):
if not openai_api_key:
raise MissingAPIKeyError("No OpenAI API key provided.")
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
openai.api_base = args.openai_api_base
=======
def __init__(
self,
io,
main_model=models.GPT4.name,
fnames=None,
pretty=True,
show_diffs=False,
auto_commits=True,
dirty_commits=True,
dry_run=False,
map_tokens=1024,
verbose=False,
openai_api_key=None,
openai_api_base=None,
):
if not openai_api_key:
raise MissingAPIKeyError("No OpenAI API key provided.")
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
openai.api_base = openai_api_base
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
These changes will allow you to pass the `openai_api_base` value into the Coder class and use it.
# Context:
USER: is it possible to add OPEN_AI_BASE or openai.api_base endpoint
default:
openai.api_base = "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions"
ASSISTANT: Yes, you can add an option to set the OpenAI API base endpoint. Here's how to do it:
1. Add a new argument to the argument parser in `aider/main.py`.
2. Set the `openai.api_base` in the `Coder` class in `aider/coder.py`.
Here are the changes you need to make:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--openai-api-key",
metavar="OPENAI_API_KEY",
help="Specify the OpenAI API key",
env_var="OPENAI_API_KEY",
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--openai-api-key",
metavar="OPENAI_API_KEY",
help="Specify the OpenAI API key",
env_var="OPENAI_API_KEY",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--openai-api-base",
metavar="OPENAI_API_BASE",
default="https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions",
help="Specify the OpenAI API base endpoint (default: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions)",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
if openai_api_key:
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
else:
raise MissingAPIKeyError("No OpenAI API key provided.")
=======
if not openai_api_key:
raise MissingAPIKeyError("No OpenAI API key provided.")
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
openai.api_base = args.openai_api_base
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now you can use the `--openai-api-base` option to set the OpenAI API base endpoint when running the script.
# Context:
USER: pass it to Coder as map_tokens instead of `use_ctags`
ASSISTANT: I will modify the `aider/main.py` file to pass `map_tokens` to the `Coder` class instead of `use_ctags`.
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
coder = Coder(
io,
main_model=args.model,
fnames=args.files,
pretty=args.pretty,
show_diffs=args.show_diffs,
auto_commits=args.auto_commits,
dirty_commits=args.dirty_commits,
dry_run=args.dry_run,
use_ctags=args.ctags,
verbose=args.verbose,
openai_api_key=args.openai_api_key,
)
=======
coder = Coder(
io,
main_model=args.model,
fnames=args.files,
pretty=args.pretty,
show_diffs=args.show_diffs,
auto_commits=args.auto_commits,
dirty_commits=args.dirty_commits,
dry_run=args.dry_run,
map_tokens=args.map_tokens,
verbose=args.verbose,
openai_api_key=args.openai_api_key,
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, the `map_tokens` value is passed to the `Coder` class instead of `use_ctags`. Please make sure to update the `Coder` class in `aider/coder.py` to accept and use the `map_tokens` parameter.
# Context:
USER: change the --ctags switch into --map-tokens, which is an int that defaults to 1024
ASSISTANT: To make this change, I need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Please make it *read-write* and let me know when it's done.
USER: I added these *read-write* files: aider/main.py
ASSISTANT: Great! I will now modify the `aider/main.py` file to change the `--ctags` switch into `--map-tokens`, which is an int that defaults to 1024.
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--ctags",
type=lambda x: (str(x).lower() == "true"),
nargs="?",
const=True,
default=None,
help=(
"Add ctags to the chat to help GPT understand the codebase (default: check for ctags"
" executable)"
),
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--map-tokens",
type=int,
default=1024,
help="Number of tokens to map for code understanding (default: 1024)",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change replaces the `--ctags` argument with the `--map-tokens` argument, which takes an integer value and defaults to 1024.
# Context:
USER: add args --user-input-color default green, --tool-output-color default None and --tool-error-color default red. pass them to InputOutput
ASSISTANT: I will add the new arguments to the `main` function and pass them to the `InputOutput` class.
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--pretty",
action="store_true",
default=True,
help="Enable pretty, colorized output (default: True)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--no-pretty",
action="store_false",
dest="pretty",
help="Disable pretty, colorized output",
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--pretty",
action="store_true",
default=True,
help="Enable pretty, colorized output (default: True)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--no-pretty",
action="store_false",
dest="pretty",
help="Disable pretty, colorized output",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--user-input-color",
default="green",
help="Set the color for user input (default: green)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--tool-output-color",
default=None,
help="Set the color for tool output (default: None)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--tool-error-color",
default="red",
help="Set the color for tool error messages (default: red)",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
io = InputOutput(
args.pretty,
args.yes,
args.input_history_file,
args.chat_history_file,

)
=======
io = InputOutput(
args.pretty,
args.yes,
args.input_history_file,
args.chat_history_file,
input=input,
output=output,
user_input_color=args.user_input_color,
tool_output_color=args.tool_output_color,
tool_error_color=args.tool_error_color,
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now the new arguments are added and passed to the `InputOutput` class.
# Context:
USER: what's a good exception to raise in coder if no api key
ASSISTANT: A good exception to raise in this case would be a custom exception, such as `MissingAPIKeyError`. You can define this custom exception by subclassing the built-in `ValueError` class. Here's how to define and raise the custom exception:
```python
aider/coder.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
class Coder:
abs_fnames = None
repo = None
last_aider_commit_hash = None
last_asked_for_commit_time = 0
def __init__(
self,
io,

fnames=None,
pretty=True,
show_diffs=False,
auto_commits=True,
dirty_commits=True,
dry_run=False,
use_ctags=False,
verbose=False,
openai_api_key=None,
):
if openai_api_key:
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
else:
io.tool_error('No OpenAI API key provided.')
=======
class MissingAPIKeyError(ValueError):
pass
class Coder:
abs_fnames = None
repo = None
last_aider_commit_hash = None
last_asked_for_commit_time = 0
def __init__(
self,
io,
main_model="gpt-4",
fnames=None,
pretty=True,
show_diffs=False,
auto_commits=True,
dirty_commits=True,
dry_run=False,
use_ctags=False,
verbose=False,
openai_api_key=None,
):
if openai_api_key:
openai.api_key = openai_api_key
else:
raise MissingAPIKeyError('No OpenAI API key provided.')
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This custom exception `MissingAPIKeyError` will provide a more specific and informative error message when the API key is not provided.
# Context:
USER: load_dotenv from the git_root if avail
ASSISTANT: To load the `.env` file from the `git_root` if available, you can modify the `load_dotenv()` function call in `aider/main.py`. Here's the change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
load_dotenv()
=======
if git_root:
load_dotenv(os.path.join(git_root, ".env"))
else:
load_dotenv()
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change checks if `git_root` is available and loads the `.env` file from the `git_root` directory. If `git_root` is not available, it falls back to the default behavior of loading the `.env` file from the current working directory.
# Context:
USER: add --dirty-commits too
ASSISTANT: To add the `--dirty-commits` argument, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Here are the changes:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--no-dirty-commits",
action="store_false",
dest="dirty_commits",
help="Disable dirty commit of changes",
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--no-dirty-commits",
action="store_false",
dest="dirty_commits",
help="Disable dirty commit of changes",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--dirty-commits",
action="store_true",
dest="dirty_commits",
help="Enable dirty commit of changes",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
These changes add the `--dirty-commits` argument to the argument parser in `aider/main.py`.
# Context:
USER: add a new arg like --no-auto-commits, but called --no-dirty-commits. pass it to Coder and set self.dirty_commits
ASSISTANT: To add the `--no-dirty-commits` argument, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file and pass the new argument to the `Coder` class in the `aider/coder.py` file.
Here are the changes:
```python
aider/main.py

self.done_messages = []
self.io = io
self.auto_commits = auto_commits

self.dry_run = dry_run
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
These changes add the `--no-dirty-commits` argument to the argument parser in `aider/main.py`, pass it to the `Coder` class, and set the `self.dirty_commits` attribute in the `Coder` class in `aider/coder.py`.
# Context:
USER: do the same for --no-auto-commit
ASSISTANT: To support `auto_commit: true` in the configuration file, you can add a `--auto-commit` argument with the `store_true` action. Here's how to modify the `aider/main.py` file:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--no-auto-commits",
action="store_false",
dest="auto_commits",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}AUTO_COMMITS",
help="Disable auto commit of changes",
default=True,
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--auto-commit",
action="store_true",
default=True,
help="Enable auto commit of changes (default: True)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--no-auto-commit",
action="store_false",
dest="auto_commit",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}AUTO_COMMIT",
help="Disable auto commit of changes",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, you can use `auto_commit: true` in your configuration file without any issues.
# Context:
USER: does configargparse support bool args like `--thing' and `--no-thing`
ASSISTANT: Yes, `configargparse` supports boolean arguments. You can create a boolean argument with `--thing` and `--no-thing` by using the `action` parameter with values `"store_true"` and `"store_false"` respectively. Here's an example:
```python
parser.add_argument(
"--thing",
action="store_true",
default=False,
help="Enable thing (default: False)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--no-thing",
action="store_false",
dest="thing",
help="Disable thing (default: True)",
)
```
In this example, the `--thing` argument will set the `thing` variable to `True`, and the `--no-thing` argument will set the `thing` variable to `False`.
USER: i have --no-pretty, but if I add `pretty: true` to the conf yaml, it throws error: aider: error: unrecognized arguments: --pretty=False
ASSISTANT: The error occurs because the `--pretty` argument is not explicitly defined in the parser. To fix this, you can add a `--pretty` argument with the `store_true` action. Here's how to modify the `aider/main.py` file:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--no-pretty",
action="store_false",
dest="pretty",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}PRETTY",
help="Disable pretty, colorized output",
default=True,
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--pretty",
action="store_true",
default=True,
help="Enable pretty, colorized output (default: True)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--no-pretty",
action="store_false",
dest="pretty",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}PRETTY",
help="Disable pretty, colorized output",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
Now, you can use `pretty: true` in your configuration file without any issues.
# Context:
USER: add --config/-c to specify the config file
ASSISTANT: To add the `--config/-c` option to specify the config file, you need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Update the `configargparse.ArgumentParser` arguments and add a new argument for the `--config/-c` option.
Here's the change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider - chat with GPT about your code",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
)
=======
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider - chat with GPT about your code",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=default_config_files,
config_file_parser_class=configargparse.YAMLConfigFileParser,
)
parser.add_argument(
"-c",
"--config",
is_config_file=True,
metavar="CONFIG_FILE",
help="Specify the config file (default: search for .aider.conf.yml in git root or home directory)",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change adds the `--config/-c` option to specify the config file and updates the `configargparse.ArgumentParser` to use the YAMLConfigFileParser for parsing the config file.
# Context:
USER: have the input and chat history files default to be located in the git root, if there is one
ASSISTANT: To change the default location of the input and chat history files to the git root, you need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Update the default values for `--input-history-file` and `--chat-history-file` arguments.
Here's the change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--input-history-file",
metavar="INPUT_HISTORY_FILE",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}INPUT_HISTORY_FILE",
default=".aider.input.history",
help="Specify the chat input history file (default: .aider.input.history)",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--chat-history-file",
metavar="CHAT_HISTORY_FILE",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}CHAT_HISTORY_FILE",
default=".aider.chat.history.md",
help="Specify the chat history file (default: .aider.chat.history.md)",
)
=======
default_input_history_file = os.path.join(git_root, ".aider.input.history") if git_root else ".aider.input.history"
default_chat_history_file = os.path.join(git_root, ".aider.chat.history.md") if git_root else ".aider.chat.history.md"
parser.add_argument(
"--input-history-file",
metavar="INPUT_HISTORY_FILE",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}INPUT_HISTORY_FILE",
default=default_input_history_file,
help=f"Specify the chat input history file (default: {default_input_history_file})",
)
parser.add_argument(
"--chat-history-file",
metavar="CHAT_HISTORY_FILE",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}CHAT_HISTORY_FILE",
default=default_chat_history_file,
help=f"Specify the chat history file (default: {default_chat_history_file})",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change sets the default values for the input and chat history files to be in the git root directory if there is one, otherwise, it will use the current directory.
# Context:
USER: --ctags should default to None now. it should be possible to set it to true or false via cmd line or config
ASSISTANT: To make the `--ctags` option default to `None` and allow it to be set to `true` or `false` via the command line or config, you need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Here's the change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--ctags",
action="store_true",
env_var=f"{env_prefix}CTAGS",
help="Add ctags to the chat to help GPT understand the codebase (default: False)",
default=False,
)
=======
parser.add_argument(
"--ctags",
type=lambda x: (str(x).lower() == 'true'),
nargs='?',
const=True,
default=None,
env_var=f"{env_prefix}CTAGS",
help="Add ctags to the chat to help GPT understand the codebase (default: None)",
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
This change will make the `--ctags` option default to `None` and allow it to be set to `true` or `false` via the command line or config.
# Context:
USER: give them both, preferring the git one
ASSISTANT: To set the default configuration file path to prefer the Git repository root and fallback to the user's home directory, update the `aider/main.py` file with the following changes:
```python

>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
These changes will set the `default_config_files` list to include both the Git repository root and the user's home directory, with preference given to the Git repository root.
# Context:
USER: where does configargparse look for the config file?
ASSISTANT: `configargparse` looks for the configuration file in the locations specified by the `add_config_file_help` and `default_config_files` arguments when creating an `ArgumentParser` instance. If these arguments are not provided, it does not look for a configuration file by default.
To specify the locations for the configuration file, you can do the following:
```python
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider - chat with GPT about your code",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=["./config.ini", "/etc/aider/config.ini"],
)
```
In this example, `configargparse` will look for the configuration file in the current directory with the name `config.ini` and in the `/etc/aider/` directory with the same name. If a configuration file is found, the values from the file will be used as default values for the arguments.
USER: can it search parent dirs for the conf file
ASSISTANT: Yes, `configargparse` can search parent directories for the configuration file. You can use a loop to generate a list of configuration file paths in parent directories and pass it to the `default_config_files` argument. Here's an example:
```python
import os
def generate_config_paths(filename):
config_paths = []
current_dir = os.path.abspath(os.getcwd())
while True:
config_path = os.path.join(current_dir, filename)
config_paths.append(config_path)
parent_dir = os.path.dirname(current_dir)
if parent_dir == current_dir:
break
current_dir = parent_dir
return config_paths
config_file_name = "config.ini"
config_paths = generate_config_paths(config_file_name)
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider - chat with GPT about your code",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=config_paths,
)
```
This code will generate a list of configuration file paths in parent directories with the given `config_file_name` and pass it to the `default_config_files` argument. `configargparse` will search for the configuration file in the specified paths.
USER: nah. instead, see if cwd is part of a git repo. if so, make the default be the working dir of the repo/.aider.conf.yml, otherwise expand ~/.aider.conf.yml
ASSISTANT: To achieve this, you can use the `git` command to check if the current working directory is part of a Git repository and then set the default configuration file path accordingly. Here's how you can do it:
```python
import os
import subprocess
def get_git_root():
try:
git_root = subprocess.check_output(["git", "rev-parse", "--
^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: use import git
ASSISTANT: To use the `git` Python library, first, make sure it's installed. You can install it using pip:
```
pip install GitPython
```
Then, you can modify the code to use the `git` library to check if the current working directory is part of a Git repository and set the default configuration file path accordingly:
```python
import os
import git
import configargparse
def get_git_root():
try:
repo = git.Repo(search_parent_directories=True)
return repo.working_tree_dir
except git.InvalidGitRepositoryError:
^C KeyboardInterrupt
USER: as an edit block
ASSISTANT: First, install the `GitPython` library if you haven't already:
```
pip install GitPython
```
Then, update the `aider/main.py` file with the following changes:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
import sys
import configargparse
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from aider.coder import Coder
from aider.io import InputOutput
=======
import os
import sys

```
```python

<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(description="aider - chat with GPT about your code")
=======
def get_git_root():
try:
repo = git.Repo(search_parent_directories=True)
return repo.working_tree_dir
except git.InvalidGitRepositoryError:
return None
git_root = get_git_root()
if git_root:
default_config_file = os.path.join(git_root, ".aider.conf.yml")
else:
default_config_file = os.path.expanduser("~/.aider.conf.yml")
parser = configargparse.ArgumentParser(
description="aider - chat with GPT about your code",
add_config_file_help=True,
default_config_files=[default_config_file],
)
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```
These changes will import the `git` library and define a `get_git_root()` function to find the Git repository root. The default configuration file path will be set to either the repository root with `.aider.conf.yml` or the user's home directory with `.aider.conf.yml`.
# Context:
USER: don't include the ${env_prefix}XXXX info in the help strings. configargparse adds that info to the help message automatically
ASSISTANT: I will remove the `${env_prefix}XXXX` info from the help strings in the `aider/main.py` file.

# Context:
USER: make -v short for --verbose
ASSISTANT: To make `-v` a short option for `--verbose`, you can modify the `aider/main.py` file. Here's the change:
```python

<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
parser.add_argument(
"--verbose",
action="store_true",
help="Enable verbose output",
