Aider

Aider AI · AI pair programming that lives in your terminal and commits its own diffs.

A reminder, after a week of splashy IDE-agent launches, that the terminal-native, model-agnostic approach is still how a lot of experienced developers actually prefer to work.

What it does

A command-line tool that pair-programs with you inside a real git repository: describe a change in plain language, Aider edits the actual files, and commits the result with a generated message.

Why Nakoda noticed it

Nakoda noticed Aider because it does the unglamorous thing well: it treats your repository's git history as the source of truth instead of trying to replace your editor. Terminal-only, model-agnostic, and still one of the most-cited tools among developers who tried the flashier IDE agents and went back to this.
