# What's it like to code with GPT-4?
|
|
|
|
Below are some chat transcripts showing what it's like to code with the help of GPT-4. They were recorded using the [aider command line tool](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider).
|
|
In the chats, you'll see a varity of coding tasks like generating new code, editing existing code, debugging, exploring unfamiliar code, etc. It's worth noting that:
|
|
|
|
- Each time GPT-4 suggests a code change, `aider` automatically applies it to the source files.
|
|
- After applying the edits, `aider` commits them to git with a senisble commit message.
|
|
- `aider` notes each time a source file is added to the chat session. Once added, these files are available for review and editing by GPT-4. The user adds files either via the command line or the in-chat `/add` command. If GPT-4 asks to see specific files, `aider` asks the user for permission to add them to the chat.

Responses from GPT-4 are in a plain font like this, and often include colorized "edit blocks" that specify edits to the code.
|
|
Here's a sample edit block that switches from printing "hello" to "goodbye":
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
hello.py
|
|
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL
|
|
print("hello")
|
|
=======
|
|
print("goodbye")
|
|
>>>>>>> UPDATED
|

```
