These days, I usually paste my entire (or some) repo into gemini and then APPLY changes back into my code using this handy script i wrote: https://github.com/asadm/vibemode

I have tried aider/copilot/continue/etc. But they lack in one way or the other.

It’s not just about saving money or making less mistakes its also about iteration speed. I can’t believe this process is remotely comparable to aider.

In aider everything is loaded in memory I can add drop files in terminal, discuss in terminal, switch models, every change is a commit, run terminal commands with ! at the start.

Full codebase is more expensive and slower than relevant files. I understand when you don’t worry about the cost, but at reasonable size pasting full codebase can’t be really a thing.

Use a tool like repomix (npm), which has extensions in some editors (at least VSCode) that can quickly bundle source files into a machine readable format
