DESCRIPTION
Aider is an open-source AI pair programming tool that works in the terminal with any LLM. It supports YAML-based configuration for settings and model preferences, a conventions file for coding standards, and gitignore-style patterns to exclude files. Config files are loaded from home directory, git repo root, and current directory in that order, with later files taking priority.
