This PR addresses issue #4520 regarding clutter in the root directory when starting Aider in a new repository.
Changes Made:
Created a hidden folder .aider/ in the project root to store auxiliary files.
Moved the following files into .aider/ to reduce root clutter:
config.yml → .aider/config.yml
tags.cache.v4/ → .aider/tags.cache.v4/
(Note: chat-history.md and input-history.md were not present locally, so they were not moved, but the structure supports them if created in the future.)
Updated the default paths in the codebase (if required) to point to .aider/.
Ensured that the new .aider/ folder behaves similarly to .git/ by keeping all temporary and configuration files tucked away.
