git: false

Do not make git commits

auto-commits: false

```

3. Inform the user that:

- The configuration will take effect the next time they launch Aider

- Git integration is disabled, so Aider won't look for repositories or make commits

- They can enable git features by removing or changing the `git` and `auto-commits` settings

- Additional Aider options can be added by consulting the Aider documentation

4. If the user wants to customize further, explain that:

- All color values can be modified using hex color codes

- The full list of available options is documented in Aider's official documentation

- Settings in this file override command-line arguments
