MacOS – Git plug-in for Finder

findergitmacos

Is there a plug-in for the Finder which lets me see and do all my git-related stuff?

There are many different apps or the terminal which change the prompt to show that files are “dirty” in terms of not being checked in or showing which branch of the code you are browsing.

I’m wondering if there are any Finder integration or visual indicators that will show if:

  • the current directory is under code control
  • the current directory has un-committed changes
  • is under code control at all

Are there graphical tools that are paid or free that integrate git status with Finder windows?

SnailGit is close (but not free) alternative to TortoiseGit that works for mac. It does displays badges directly in Finder. And it has right-click git menu for operations on repositories.

Free version is limited to one folder.
