What it does
Aider is a terminal-based AI pair-programming tool for local Git repositories. Its documented workflow combines repository mapping, conversational edits, Git integration and feedback from checks, keeping AI-assisted changes inside a familiar command-line review process.
Start with a small task in a version-controlled project and define how the result will be checked. Inspect the diff, dependencies and test output before adopting a change; a runnable prototype still needs engineering review.
