What GitFinder is

GitFinder is a macOS Git client that brings repository status and commands into Finder. Finder icon badges show Git status, while customizable contextual and toolbar menus provide Git operations. Its repository browser displays local and remote branches, tags, and submodules, with operations available from that view. Supported actions include creating and cloning repositories, staging and committing, amending, checkout, cherry-pick, revert, merge, rebase, and managing branches, tags, stashes, and submodules. File tools include diffs, commit history, blame views, and conflict resolution using a merge tool of your choice. GitFinder supports Git LFS and lists GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket integrations, including pull requests on hosted repositories without a browser. The fully functional trial lasts 30 days. Afterward, Finder features work only for the first repository browsed; other repositories lose badges and Finder menu commands. Finder integration also cannot show badges or menus in certain File Provider locations, including iCloud Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Google Drive.

Who it suits

It suits Mac developers who want Git controls and status inside Finder, with repository browsing and file-level review tools. Users working mainly in unsupported synced locations should note the Finder limitation.
