AI pair programming in your terminal with Git integration and multi-LLM support
Aider is an open-source terminal tool that edits codebases via chat with LLMs. It offers full local control and zero licensing cost compared with GitStart’s managed service, yet requires engineers to handle all context, testing, and PR submission manually without the automated checkpoints or hybrid delivery GitStart provides.
Aider is an open-source tool for AI pair programming directly in the terminal. It connects to cloud or local LLMs including Claude 3.7 Sonnet, DeepSeek, and GPT models, maps entire codebases, supports 100+ languages, and integrates with Git for automatic commits. Users can edit code via comments in their IDE, add images or web pages for context, use voice input, and rely on automatic linting and testing after changes.
