/commit

Commits changes to the repo that were made outside the chat.

/commit creates a commit for all dirty (uncommitted) changes in the repo, with a commit message generated by Aider. A custom commit message can optionally be given as an argument. Changes Aider makes itself are already committed automatically after every edit, per the docs.

✅ WHEN TO USE IT?

Save manual changes made outside Aider

/commit — after editing something yourself outside Aider, before letting it keep working in the same repo

Supply your own commit message

/commit fix: correct off-by-one error in pagination

⛔ WHEN NOT TO?

Wanting to commit Aider's own code changes

Aider already auto-commits its own edits after every change by default, so an extra /commit isn't needed for that.

Better: Only set --no-auto-commits if you deliberately want to turn off automatic committing

Wanting to undo a bad commit

/commit creates new commits, it doesn't undo anything.

Better: Use /undo to revert the last commit Aider made
