Aider lets you pair program with LLMs, to edit code in your local git repository. Start a new project or work with an existing git repo. Aider works best with GPT-4o & Claude 3.5 Sonnet and can connect to almost any LLM.

Starting

Harbor runs aider in a CLI mode.

# [Optional] pre-pull if needed
harbor pull aider

# See available options
harbor aider --help

When running aider, Harbor will mount current working directory as a container workspace. This means that running aider from a subfolder in a git repo will mask away the fact it's a git repo within the container.

# Run aider in the current directory
harbor aider

# Aider supports browser/GUI mode
# "Network URL" will be open-able in your browser
harbor aider --gui

Configuration

aider is pre-configured to automatically work with the LLM backends supported by Harbor. You only need to point it to the correct model.

# Lists active services
harbor ls -a # nothing

# Will try using OpenAI API
harbor aider

# Run one of supported backends
harbor up vllm webui
harbor ls -a # webui vllm

# Set a new model for aider as the model that
# vllm is currently using
harbor aider model $(harbor vllm model)
# Or set a specific model
harbor aider model "microsoft/Phi-3.5-mini-instruct"

# Will use vLLM model
harbor aider

# Let's run with Ollama
harbor down
# "ollama" specifier is not needed if ollama
# is one of the default services
harbor up ollama
# Will use Ollama config now, ensure to point
# it to the correct model!

You can configure aider in Harbor via:

• specifying supported CLI args
• aider/override.env file, official .env reference
• aider/confgis/aider.config.yml file, official config reference
  • Note, that Harbor will override certain portions of this config to connect Aider to the LLM backends
