Feature Request: Simplify Generating Up-to-date Code Using LLM with Documentation and GitHub Context #1981

Open lockmeister opened 1 month ago

lockmeister commented 1 month ago

Issue

I have a use case where I need to quickly learn how to use a brand-new library for a project. My idea is to feed the library's entire documentation and possibly its GitHub repository .

I've tried cloning the repo and running aider in it, but this is quite a manual process to switch between this and the repo where I'm working.

Thank you for filing this issue.

This document may be helpful -> https://aider.chat/docs/scripting.html

You probably can do "/read path/to/docs" with v0.59 and that should just work. Obviously keep in mind context windows :)

Just a comment, as a daily aider user — your use case might be well served in the Claude web interface. You can paste in documentation and a tar file (uncompressed) of your repo, and ask it to write out the integration for you, or if you prefer to do the coding, give you a task list, architecture convo, etc. the way aider parses stuff out is likely to add a bunch of intermediate steps.

I'd be interested to hear more about how you use that? And how it fits into your Aider workflow?

I'm labeling this issue as stale because it has been open for 2 weeks with no activity. If there are no additional comments, it will be closed in 7 days.
