OpenAI Codex CLI

OpenAI Codex CLI is an open-source terminal agent that applies natural language instructions to your local codebase. Running in your terminal, it reads files, writes code, runs tests, and iterates until the task is complete — powered by OpenAI's o4-mini model.

Aider

Terminal-based AI pair programmer that edits files through git. Supports 100+ models. Great for structured, commit-level changes.
