Change tree sitter provider to updated fork with many added languages

[madhat2r]

Currently aider uses grantjenks/py-tree-sitter-languages but there is a maintained fork Goldziher/tree-sitter-language-pack which contains many more languages which would improve aider's language support.

This would be an amazing improvement, right now the limited number of supported languages is quite constraining, we could really use e.g. powershell or matlab support (which seems to be in the fork).

Thanks for trying aider and filing this issue.

There is now experimental support for tree-sitter-language-pack. To use it with aider:

aider --install-main-branch
aider --install-tree-sitter-language-pack

To back out of this you probably need to un-install and re-install.

This doesn't offer any new language support yet. I am trying to assess if folks have any problems installing this package, etc. Next steps will be do enable many more languages.

I would appreciate feedback in both directions: let me know if this works or does not work for you.

Worked for me as well (openSUSE Tumbleweed within WSL 2).

All good for me on macOS 15.3.1, python 3.12.7, using pipx environment.

Hi thanks for the improvement! Seems to work well, any chance to see those dependencies installed by default in aider?
