Terminal-Native Git Pair Programmer

Overview & Capability

Command-line pair programming agent that edits code in local git repositories. Automatically crafts sensible git commits with multi-file edits.

  • Automatically computes whole-repository map using tree-sitter AST
  • Formats and runs automatic git commits for every code change
  • Works with Claude 3.5 Sonnet, DeepSeek R1, GPT-4o, and local Ollama
Robbie's Independent Take Verified: 2026-10-11

Excellent candidate for local execution with zero cloud lock-in. For 7B-8B parameter models, budget at least 8 GB of unified memory or VRAM (Q4_K_M quantization). For 32B-70B models, aim for 24 GB+ to maintain interactive throughput without CPU offload penalties.

Alternatives & Replaces

  • Copilot CLI
  • Manual multi-file refactoring
