The RIDER file type is primarily associated with AutoIt.
What is a RIDER file?
RIDER files mostly belong to AutoIt. RIDER files serve different purposes based on their internal structure.
For some systems these files are AutoIt automation scripts. In this case the file is a plain text file that stores a series of commands. You can open it with a text editor to see the instructions used to automate Windows tasks.
Other RIDER files work as AutoIt3 include files. They hold a set of functions or code blocks that can be inserted into larger scripts to reduce repetition. These files support modular scripting in AutoIt.
A further use is with the JetBrains ecosystem. Some RIDER files are packed as a Windows executable and act as a JetBrains IDE Plugin for the Rider integrated development environment. Such files are built in EXE format and extend the capabilities of JetBrains Rider.
Additional details can be found on the AutoIt website or by consulting the AutoIt documentation. For files related to the Rider IDE, check the JetBrains Rider website for guidance.
