Adding and Removing Files
File Management
Adding Files:
- At launch:
aider file1.py file2.js
- During session:
/add path/to/file.py
- Creating new files:
/add newfile.py
Removing Files:
- Use
/drop filename.py
to remove files no longer needed
Viewing Current Files:
- Use
/ls
to see all files and which are in the chat
Best Practices:
- Only add files that need editing for the current task
- Remove files with
/drop
when done with them - Aider will add context from related files automatically
- Use
/read-only file.py
for reference files that shouldn't be edited
