Aider Qwen2.5-Coder Local Configuration

Configure Aider to use local Ollama qwen2.5-coder:14b model with git operations completely disabled and automatic yes mode for non-interactive operation.

What This Does

This skill provides an Aider configuration that:

Instructions

1. **Verify Prerequisites**

- Check that Ollama is installed and running locally

- Confirm qwen2.5-coder:14b model is available: `ollama list`

- If not installed, pull it: `ollama pull qwen2.5-coder:14b`

- Verify Ollama API is accessible at `http://localhost:11434/v1`

2. **Create Configuration File**

- Navigate to your project root directory

- Create or update `.aider.conf.yml` with the following content:

```yaml

Aider configuration file

This configuration prevents ALL git operations and commits

model: ollama/qwen2.5-coder:14b

openai-api-base: http://localhost:11434/v1

openai-api-key: ollama

File operations

gitignore: false

yes-always: true

DISABLE ALL GIT OPERATIONS - multiple settings to ensure no commits

no-git: true # Disable git integration entirely

no-auto-commits: true # Disable automatic commits

no-dirty-commits: true # Don't commit if repo is dirty

git: false # Explicitly disable git

auto-commits: false # Explicitly disable auto commits

commit: false # Disable commit functionality

Safety settings

no-suggest-shell-commands: true

no-auto-test: true

```

3. **Verify Configuration**

- Run `aider --help` to check available options

- Start Aider: `aider`

- Confirm it connects to Ollama and loads the qwen2.5-coder:14b model

- Verify no git warnings appear in the output

4. **Test the Setup**

- Ask Aider to make a small code change

- Confirm the change is applied without any git commit

- Check that file operations proceed without prompts (yes-always mode)

Important Notes

Customization

To use a different Ollama model, change the `model` line:

```yaml

model: ollama/codellama:13b # Alternative: CodeLlama

model: ollama/deepseek-coder # Alternative: DeepSeek Coder

```

To re-enable git (not recommended without careful review):

```yaml

Remove or comment out all no-git/git: false lines

Add back:

auto-commits: true

dirty-commits: true

```

To add interactive prompts back:

```yaml

yes-always: false # Will prompt before file changes

```
