Aider-AI/aiderfor real file edits, git-native workflows, model routing, and reliable day-to-day coding loops.
Aider is one of the most widely used terminal-first coding agents. It is powerful because it edits real files in real repositories, but that means workflow discipline matters.
This track focuses on:
- precise prompting for deterministic edits
- safe multi-file and git-aware workflows
- model configuration for quality/cost tradeoffs
- practical habits that reduce rework and regressions
