# Aider

Aider is a terminal-based AI pair programming tool that lets developers work with LLMs to start a new project or build on an existing codebase. It maps the whole codebase, works with cloud and local models, and automatically commits changes to git with descriptive messages. It also lints and tests code after each change and can fix problems the linters and test suites find.
