Football Home Aider Configuration

Configuration for using Aider with the Football Home project, optimized for Claude Sonnet 4 with custom context files.

Instructions

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

Usage

Create a `.aider.conf.yml` file in the project root with this configuration:

```yaml

Aider configuration for Football Home

model: claude-sonnet-4-20250514

dark-mode: true

no-auto-commits: true

pretty: true

stream: true

Context files (always included)

read:

- README.md

- .github/copilot-instructions.md

```

Then run Aider normally:

```bash

aider

```
