Aider configuration for Football Home project with Claude Sonnet 4, auto-commits disabled, and context awareness of README and copilot instructions.
Configuration for using Aider with the Football Home project, optimized for Claude Sonnet 4 with custom context files.
When setting up Aider for this project, configure it with the following settings:
1. **Model Configuration**
- Use Claude Sonnet 4 (model: `claude-sonnet-4-20250514`)
- This ensures access to the latest Claude capabilities
2. **UI and Output Settings**
- Enable dark mode for better visibility
- Enable pretty formatting for readable output
- Enable streaming for real-time responses
3. **Commit Behavior**
- Disable auto-commits (`no-auto-commits: true`)
- This gives you manual control over when changes are committed
- Review changes before committing them yourself
4. **Context Files**
- Always include `README.md` in the context
- Always include `.github/copilot-instructions.md` in the context
- These files provide project overview and coding guidelines
5. **Ignore Patterns**
- Use the `.aiderignore` file for ignore patterns instead of inline configuration
- See: https://aider.chat/docs/config/aider_ignore.html
Create a `.aider.conf.yml` file in the project root with this configuration:
```yaml
model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514
dark-mode: true
no-auto-commits: true
pretty: true
stream: true
read:
- README.md
- .github/copilot-instructions.md
```
Then run Aider normally:
```bash
aider
```
