aye-chat

Aye Chat provides an integrated terminal workspace where developers can edit files, execute shell commands, and interact with an AI assistant without leaving a single session. The tool automatically discovers project files while respecting .gitignore, and stores all AI‑generated modifications in a hidden .aye directory for safe rollback.

Typical usage includes prompting the AI to fix bugs, refactor code, or run tests, then issuing standard commands such as vim, git, or pytest directly from the chat interface. A built‑in restore command lets users revert any AI change instantly, with options to target specific snapshots or individual files, while history and diff commands aid review.

Installation is available via pip, Homebrew, or a Windows installer, and the application can be launched with the aye command in any project folder. The interface requires no authentication and supports model selection, verbose toggling, and session management through simple text commands.
