Issue

It would be useful to be able to see what Aider options are set. Eg. with a /settings command. I tried /help but it was not able to tell me what is set.

Version and model info

aider 0.54.4

lockmeister commented 1 month ago

I found this out because I've set my aider.conf.yml (in my ~ directory, and I'm coding in subdirectories under ~) to include these lines:

# my personal preferences
no-auto-commits: true
vim: true
cache-prompts: true
cache-keepalive-pings: 5
no-stream: true
sonnet: true
auto-lint: true

however, when I run aider it does auto-commit, this makes me assume it is ignoring my .aider.conf.yaml in my ~ directory, or perhaps I've incorrectly specified the settings in the yaml.

It would be useful to have a /settings command to check this.

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

That's a great idea. I added /settings.

The change is available in the main branch. You can get it by installing the latest version from github:

aider --upgrade

# or try this...
python -m pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git

If you have a chance to try it, let me know if it works better for you.

That worked, thanks so much! @paul-gauthier , I can't believe how quickly you do these fixes. Aider is a fantastic project and you are doing a great job.

I've installed the latest version, for the record I prefer to install it using pipx as you recommend in your documentation. To install the latest version I use

pipx install --suffix=@dev --force git+https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider.git

and then I can run it using

aider@dev

As you know, pipx allows you to install Python packages in isolated virtual environments, ensuring no conflicts while making them globally accessible. It's ideal for managing command-line tools, providing clean uninstalls, security, and compatibility with multiple Python versions without cluttering your global environment.
