Aider has had support for Python and shell scripting [0] for a long time. I made a screencast [1] recently that included ad-hoc bash scripting aider as part of the effort to add support for 130 new programming languages. It may give a flavor for how powerful this approach can be.

Freaking love Aider. MCPs are supported soon as well. Testing a development branch. Then you can actually develop end to end using PR, tickets etc using models you trust.

That's great news! Love Aider too and that's the main thing that's missing right now. Oh the things I will build.

How close can you get Aider to Claude Code? Ie i liked the Claude Code UX, but i don't use it because i prefer Gemini 2.5 Pro.

I don't really want it committing and stuff, i mostly like the UX of Claude Code. Thoughts?

You can turn off auto commit

Aider could really profit from a polished GitHub Actions workflow.

Add a file to your repo and you can talk to any model via issues.
