Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Aider to pair program with large language models directly in your terminal or favorite code editor. It creates an index of your entire codebase so models understand context across large projects. You can ask for code changes, bug fixes, or new features using text or voice instructions. Aider edits files across multiple programming languages, automatically runs your linters and test suites to verify changes, and commits the results to Git with descriptive messages. You can also attach images and web documentation for extra context.
