Aider is an open-source AI pair-programming agent that runs in the terminal, editing files in a local git repository through any of many model providers, including fully local models. Each change lands as a git commit, which keeps the agent's work reviewable and reversible. The software is free; cost is only the model usage on your own API keys. It appeals to developers who live in the terminal and want delegation without adopting a new editor or cloud service.
