Overview
Aider is an open-source AI coding assistant that runs in your terminal. You start it inside your project, name the files you want changed and describe the change in plain words; it edits those files and saves each change as a git commit you can review or undo. It connects to many cloud or local AI models, so you bring your own model key. It suits developers who like working in the terminal.
Every change it makes is a git commit, so you can compare and undo the AI's work with the tools you already use.

Features
From the creator's documentation.
| Feature | What it does | Runs |
|---|---|---|
| Cloud and local models | Connects to almost any language model, including local ones | Your model provider |
| Codebase map | Builds a map of your whole project so it works in larger codebases | Your computer |
| Git integration | Commits each change with a clear message so you can diff and undo it | Your computer |
| Linting and testing | Lints files it edits and can run your test command after each change, fixing what fails | Your computer |
| Images and web pages | Add screenshots or web pages to the chat as extra context | Your computer and the web |
Good to know
You want an AI model to change code in a project you already have, from your terminal. Aider edits the files you name and saves each change as a git commit, so you can look at the result and undo it.
Limits
- Aider needs a model: you bring your own API key for a cloud model, or point it at a local one.
- Aider saves its changes as git commits in your repository, so work in a project folder you are happy to have committed to.
