This action runs Aider in a container given a set of arguments, let's Aider apply changes, then it pushes the changes to the repository on the branch you pass to it.

The easiest and recommended way to use this action is to use the aider-github-workflows.

See Issue to PR workflow which is a great place to start.

In your workflow file, add the following step to your job:

jobs:
  my_job:
    steps:
      - name: Apply changes with Aider
        uses: mirrajabi/aider-github-action@main
        timeout-minutes: 10 # So that you won't accidentally burn your OpenAI credits!
        with:
          openai_api_key: ${{ secrets.openai_api_key }}
          branch: ${{ fromJson(steps.create_branch.outputs.result).ref }}
          model: ${{ inputs.model }}
          aider_args: '--yes --message "${{ steps.create_prompt.outputs.result }}"'

When using the action directly, you can pass the following inputs to it:

• Put it out there
• Get it to a point where tagging it as v1 makes sense.
• Investigate the possibilities of turning this into a Github App.

This project uses Paul Gauthier's Aider. It's a great tool, and you should check it out! You can also use it as your local coding assistant.
