user-input-color: '325cc0'

```

3. Save the file and restart Aider. The configuration will be automatically loaded.

Usage Example

```bash

aider

Aider will now:

```

Why This Configuration?

**Manual Git Control**: Disabling auto-commits gives you explicit control over your git history, allowing you to:

**Custom Colors**: The color scheme provides clear visual distinction between different types of output, making it easier to scan terminal output during Aider sessions.
