Front End for Aider.chat which makes it super simple to use
Project description
aicode
The most advanced ai coding tool on the planet.
About
Okay well aider.chat
is by far the BEST aicoding assistant on the planet. But aicode
, a front end for
aider.chat
is EASIER TO USE! So use this whenever you can for Windows/Linux/MacOS.
Think of aicode
as aider.chat
but on easy mode.
One foot gun here is that aider.chat
only works on files in a git repo. therefore you must be in a git repo
for aicode
to work. This is required because aider.chat
will generate a repo map as part of the query.
Usage:
pip install advanced-aicode
aicode
Note
The package name is NOT the same as the command tool. The package is advanced-aicode
and the tool is called aicode
. Someone
else grabbed package name aicode
over a year ago and this is the best name I could come up with to get it into pypi.
aicode is better than aider.chat in the following ways
aicode
is easier to install. Like WAY easier. It will tell you what you need to do to complete the installation, such as setting the api key if none are detected.aicode
will not f@ck up your global pip environment. We fix this by lazily installingaider.chat
usingpipx
aicode
will change the directory to a the project root containing a.git
directory.aider.chat
will just fail to run.aicode
will default to NOT creating a git commit on every change. Instead it will just raw dog it to your current repo. This simplifies usage because most of the time you will only be editing one file and if you don't like the change you can just invoke undo on the file. If you want to create a git commit on every change (so that you can use /undo) then pass inaicode -a
. This works better if you are editing multiple files and want and want to step back in history, must most of the time it's better to just letaicode
work on one file at a time.aicode
has the benefit of allowing easy upgrades toaider.chat
from the command line usingaicode --update
which will invokepipx
update on the backend.aicode
will default to usingChatGPT4-o
if it detects you have have an openapi key.aicode
will save and insert the environmental variables on demand.aider.chat
requires that you insert these variables in your~/.bashrc
file (linux) or the equivalent for Windows and MacOS.aicode
will check for new versions in the background and inform you of an update on the NEXT run ofaicode
and the command line you can use. This was a feature thataider.chat
program actually implemented for this project.aicode
will ask you to modify the.gitignore
file so that you aren't uploading your f*cking chat history to your repo by default.
Happy CODING!
