Aider
NewAI pair programming tool that lets you code with GPT-4 and Claude directly in your terminal.
About Aider
Aider is an open-source AI pair programming tool that runs in the terminal and connects to powerful AI models like GPT-4, Claude Opus, and Gemini to help developers write, edit, and refactor code across an entire project codebase. Unlike IDE-embedded AI tools, Aider works with git repositories directly—automatically committing changes as the AI makes them, providing full context from multiple files, and enabling the AI to edit multiple files in a coordinated way to implement complex features. Aider supports over 100 programming languages and is one of the highest-scoring tools on the SWE-bench code editing benchmark. Developers use it via natural language commands to implement features, fix bugs, write tests, and refactor code while maintaining full git history of AI-made changes.
Pros
- Multi-file editing with full codebase context for complex features
- Automatic git commits track every AI change with clean history
- Top SWE-bench scores demonstrate strong real-world coding ability
Cons
- Requires own API keys adding variable cost based on usage
- Terminal-only interface has a learning curve for non-technical users
