Thanks for trying aider and reporting this issue.
It looks like your git repo may be using a newer index format, which might not be supported by GitPython.
This GitPython issue has some more info and workarounds. You might want to try git update-index --no-skip-worktree
based on that issue.
I tried git update-index --no-skip-worktree
and unfortunately it did not solve the issue. I was able to launch aider in my project by copying it and then removing .git
. However, after trying to add a file, it breaks again:
Aider v0.12.0

Ok, I am glad to hear you found a good workaround for your git repo.
He actually, didn't found a workaround :-) Besides I have the same issue
Same issue here, @paul-gauthier you might be able to reproduce on your side, the repo is https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile, it's a large repo
Aider v0.18.0
This works for me:
git update-index --index-version=2
I'm also hitting this issue (see below), but unfortunately none of the workarounds worked for me. Curiously, I don't seem to be getting it in my other repo.
Workarounds tried:
git update-index --index-version=2
git update-index --no-skip-worktree
Error:
$ aider --openai-api-key sk-xxx-...-zzz

P.S. Just wanna say I love the idea of aider. Thanks for making it as well as open sourcing it
Update: I was able to fix my issue by updating to the latest version of git (2.44) and running the git update-index --index-version=2
command. Aider is now working fine :)
The latest version of git has the option --show-index-version
for update-index. I verified that it was at 3 before and then was successfully changed to 2. Not sure what happened when I tried setting it to 2 with my older version of git (it was the system git provided by macos,git version 2.39.3 (Apple Git-145)
in this case).
For future reference, I don't believe that downgrading your index version is supported. I ended up deleting my index (while the repo was fully checked in and backed up) and running git reset.
Digging into it a little deeper, the issue is because GitPython only supports index version 1 and 2 (relevant code), and since the project is in maintenance mode it seems like there is a decent change that this won't be fixed in near future (though the GitPython maintainer is open to merging feature contributions).
Hopefully the authors successor project GitOxide will be stable and have a Python binding at some point soon.
Having the same issue.
Did you try updating the index as described earlier in this issue?
Yes, I'm not sure what the issue is:
$ ~/Projects/robusta → git update-index --show-index-version
3
$ ~/Projects/robusta → aider

However, I can workaround this with aider --no-git
- the git integration is not particularly important to me.
I should clarify - I know what the issue is, I just haven't looked into how to fix it!
$ git update-index --index-version=2
$ git update-index --show-index-version
3
No skip worktree works for me, but this isn't a solution, as I have to keep certain files silenced, so they do not keep popping up in Source Control changes.
Is there a better workaround?
Just to mention, this also happens when you've used git add --intent-to-add
. (just git reset
or git add --update
or whatnot)
See this comment.
Since this was new to me and the official documentation about git index versions is quite dense, I asked Sonnet-3.5 and ChatGPT for clarification, with ChatGPT producing a much better answer in this case (may be helpful for others, hopefully):
--- AI slop start ---
Git index versions (2, 3, and 4) represent different formats of the index file (also known as the staging area) that Git uses to track the state of your working directory between commits. Here's an explanation of the key points regarding when the index version changes, the default version, and how certain Git features might force an index upgrade.
Git will upgrade the index version under specific circumstances, often related to optimizations or special features that require newer formats.
Version 3 introduced:
Version 4 introduced:
Git does not automatically upgrade the index unless you explicitly use features that require a newer version. For example, working with very large repositories or using experimental features (like the SHA-256 transition) may force an upgrade to version 4.
git update-index --index-version=<2|3|4>
Since GitPython only supports version 2, the safest approach is to:
git ls-files --debug | grep index
git update-index --index-version=2
If you're using basic Git features (commits, branches, diffs, etc.), the index will likely stay at version 2. However, advanced features like sparse checkouts, experimental SHA-256 support, or very large repositories may trigger an automatic upgrade to version 4. As long as you avoid these scenarios, the repository should remain compatible with tools that use GitPython.

When executing aider in an existing repo with R, Python, and Bash scripts, I get this error. When executing aider in a much smaller repo of only Python files, it works without problems. Thank you very much.
