Aider
Aider is an open-source terminal pair programmer that edits code in your local git repository. It connects to multiple LLMs, understands project context, and can make multi-file edits while preserving git history. With 45,000+ GitHub stars, it is one of the most popular open-source coding agents.
Top features
- Multi-file editing: Aider can modify several files in a single turn, keeping changes coherent across the codebase.
- Git-aware workflow: every change is committed with a descriptive message, so the history stays clean and reversible.
- Universal LLM support: works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, local models via Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible API.
- Repository context: reads the existing codebase to understand imports, types, and patterns before proposing edits.
- Voice coding: speak natural-language requests and Aider transcribes and executes them.
- Test-driven development: can run tests, read failures, and iterate on fixes automatically.
- Code map: builds a map of the repository structure to improve context understanding for large projects.
Use cases
- Add a feature that touches multiple files: model, controller, view, and tests.
- Refactor a module while preserving behavior and updating all call sites.
- Fix bugs by reading error traces, locating the source, and patching across the stack.
- Update dependencies and migrate APIs across the entire codebase.
- Work offline with local models for air-gapped or privacy-sensitive environments.
