## What it is
Melty is an AI-powered code editor where every chat message becomes a git commit, letting you revert, branch, reset, and squash chats like a pair programmer. It is a desktop application built in TypeScript, designed to make large multi-file changes and integrate with your compiler, terminal, debugger, and tools like Linear and GitHub.

## Use cases
- ai code editor that commits every chat message
- refactor code across multiple files with an ai assistant
- create web apps from scratch with ai
- navigate and understand large codebases
- ai tool that writes git commits for me
- pair programmer that stays in sync with my changes

## When to choose
- you want an ai editor tightly integrated with git history and commits
- you make large multi-file changes and want chat-driven workflows
- you want an ai assistant that watches changes like a pair programmer

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, mature editor for daily production work
- you prefer editors like VS Code or JetBrains with established ecosystems
- you don't want your chat history tied to git commits
