Configuration
Aider has many options which can be set with
command line switches.
Most options can also be set in an .aider.conf.yml file
which can be placed in your home directory or at the root of
your git repo.
Or by setting environment variables like AIDER_xxx
either in your shell or a .env file.
Here are 4 equivalent ways of setting an option.
With a command line switch:
$ aider --dark-mode
Using a .aider.conf.yml file:
dark-mode: true
By setting an environment variable:
export AIDER_DARK_MODE=true
Using an .env file:
AIDER_DARK_MODE=true
All API keys can be stored in a .env file or in a YAML config file.
