Aider Git Configuration

A professional Aider configuration that disables automatic git operations and applies a custom color scheme for better readability.

Configuration

This configuration applies the following settings to Aider:

Git Behavior

**Disable auto-commits**: Prevents Aider from automatically creating commits

**Disable dirty commits**: Prevents commits when working directory has uncommitted changes

**Disable git attribution**: Turns off automatic author, committer, and co-authored-by attribution in commits

This gives you full manual control over your git workflow while using Aider.

Custom Color Scheme

**Assistant output**: Green (#448c27)

**Tool errors**: Red (#aa3731)

**Tool output**: Purple (#7a3e9d)

**Tool warnings**: Orange (#cb9000)

**User input**: Blue (#325cc0)
