Use Aider with a custom OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Updated November 3, 2026

Before you begin

Open a fresh terminal, configure a scoped key and list the models available to your account before using the client. The shared setup includes Bash and PowerShell commands.

Run Aider

Set OPENAI_API_BASE to https://api.notholy.com/v1 and OPENAI_API_KEY privately. Launch aider --model openai/MODEL_ID using an exact alias from your authenticated catalog. Start in a disposable repository. Review edits and shell commands using Aider permissions; NotHoly does not execute those local commands.
