# Aider chat conversation:
USER: add --encoding and pass it to `InputOutput`
ASSISTANT: To add the `--encoding` argument and pass it to `InputOutput`, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file.
Here are the steps:
1. Add a new argument `--encoding` to the `argparse.ArgumentParser` in the `main` function.
2. Pass the `args.encoding` to the `InputOutput` class instantiation.
Here are the changes:
```python

<<<<<<< HEAD
io = InputOutput(
args.pretty,
args.yes,
args.input_history_file,
args.chat_history_file,
input=input,
output=output,

tool_output_color=args.tool_output_color,
tool_error_color=args.tool_error_color,
dry_run=args.dry_run,

)

```
Please note that the `InputOutput` class should be able to handle the `encoding` argument. If it's not the case, we need to modify the `InputOutput` class as well.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: Add a --commit arg that will commit all pending changes with a suitable commit message
ASSISTANT: To add a `--commit` argument, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. Specifically, we will add a new argument to the `git_group` argument group in the `main` function.
Here is the proposed change:
```python
aider/main.py
<<<<<<< HEAD
git_group.add_argument(
"--dry-run",
action=argparse.BooleanOptionalAction,
default=False,
help="Enable/disable performing a dry run without modifying files (default: False)",
)
=======
git_group.add_argument(
"--dry-run",
action=argparse.BooleanOptionalAction,
default=False,
help="Enable/disable performing a dry run without modifying files (default: False)",
)
git_group.add_argument(
"--commit",
action="store_true",
help="Commit all pending changes with a suitable commit message",
default=False,
)
>>>>>>> updated
```
This change adds a new `--commit` argument that, when used, will trigger the commit of all pending changes. The default value is `False`, meaning that if the argument is not provided, no commit will be made. The help text provides a brief explanation of what the argument does.
After adding this argument, you will need to implement the functionality to commit changes when this argument is used. This will likely involve modifying the `GitRepo` class in the `aider/repo.py` file, but since that file is read-only, I can't provide the specific changes here.
# Aider chat conversation:
ASSISTANT: To implement the `filter_ignored_files` method, we need to use the `pathspec` library to filter the filenames according to the gitignore type specifications in `self.aider_ignore_file`.
The `pathspec` library is not currently imported in the `repo.py` file, so we need to add that import.
We also need to read the `aider_ignore_file` and use its contents to create a `pathspec` that we can use to filter the filenames.
Here are the changes:
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< HEAD
import os
from pathlib import Path, PurePosixPath
import git
from aider import models, prompts, utils
from aider.sendchat import simple_send_with_retries
from .dump import dump # noqa: F401
=======
import os
import pathspec
from pathlib import Path, PurePosixPath
import git
from aider import models, prompts, utils
from aider.sendchat import simple_send_with_retries
from .dump import dump # noqa: F401
>>>>>>> updated
```
```python
aider/repo.py
<<<<<<< HEAD
def filter_ignored_files(self, fnames):
if not self.aider_ignore_file:
return
# todo: use pathspec to filter fnames according to the gitignore type specs in self.aider_ignore_file
=======
def filter_ignored_files(self, fnames):
if not self.aider_ignore_file:
return fnames
with open(self.aider_ignore_file, 'r') as f:
ignore_spec = pathspec.PathSpec.from_lines('gitwildmatch', f)
return [fname for fname in fnames if not ignore_spec.match_file(fname)]
>>>>>>> updated
```
Please note that these changes assume that `self.aider_ignore_file` is a path to a file containing gitignore-style patterns, one per line. If `self.aider_ignore_file` is not in this format, the code may need to be adjusted.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: add a switch for an aider ignore file, which should default to .aiderignore in the root of the git repo
ASSISTANT: To add a switch for an aider ignore file, we need to modify the `aider/main.py` file. We will add a new argument to the `argparse.ArgumentParser` instance to accept the path of the aider ignore file. The default value will be `.aiderignore` in the root of the git repo.
Here is the *edit block* for the change:
```python

```
This change adds a new command-line argument `--aiderignore` that allows the user to specify the path of the aider ignore file. The default value is `.aiderignore`, which will be located in the root of the git repo.
