I originally was against auto commit as well, but now I can’t imagine not using it. It’s essentially save points along the way. More than once, I’ve done two or three exchanges with Aider only to realize that the path that we were going down was not a good one.
Being able to get reset back to the last known good state is awesome. If you turn off auto commit, it’s a lot harder to undo one of the steps that the model takes. It’s only a matter of time until it creates nonsense, so you’ll really want the ability to roll it back.
Just work in a branch and you can merge all commits if you want at the end.
