FinderGit

The marketing and download site for FinderGit — a native macOS app that brings Git intelligence into a Finder-style file browser.

What is FinderGit?

FinderGit is a native macOS app that combines file browsing with Git intelligence. Instead of switching between Finder and a Git client, you get everything in one window:

• Tree view with columns — browse files like Finder's list view, with sortable columns for Branch, Status, Changes, Size, and Date Modified
• Live Git status — every repository shows its branch, clean/dirty/unpushed state, and number of changed files, updated in real time via FSEvents
• Ahead/behind counter — the status badge shows ↑N, ↓N, or ↑N ↓M so you can spot repos that need a push, a pull, or both at a glance
• Auto-fetch — optional background git fetch at a user-chosen interval to keep the ahead/behind counter fresh
• Diff viewer — click any modified file to see a colored inline diff
• Git actions — stage, unstage, commit, push, pull, fetch, branch switch, all from the UI
• Native Markdown preview — press Space on any .md file for a rendered preview
• Smart context menus — adapts to whether you're on a regular file, a tracked file, or a repository
• Multiple root folders — add as many as you want; drop folders from the macOS Finder into the sidebar to add them as roots
• Universal binary — one DMG runs on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs
• Auto-updates — built in via Sparkle

Download

→ Download the latest version

After downloading, open the DMG and drag FinderGit into your Applications folder. Launch it normally — the app is signed with Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so Gatekeeper accepts it on first open.

Requirements

• macOS 15 Sequoia or later
• Xcode Command Line Tools (FinderGit uses the system git binary). On a fresh Mac, run once:

  xcode-select --install
  sudo xcodebuild -license
