Git Actions

FinderGit lets you perform common Git operations directly from the app, without opening a terminal.

Available actions

From the Detail Panel

When you select a repository (or any item inside one), the detail panel shows:

• Fetch — fetches from all remotes (git fetch --all)
• Pull — pulls from the upstream (git pull)
• Push — pushes to the upstream. If no upstream is configured, automatically sets it with --set-upstream origin <branch>
• Refresh — re-reads the repository status

Staging and unstaging

In the changes list, each file has a Stage or Unstage button:

• Stage — runs git add <file>
• Unstage — runs git restore --staged <file>
• Stage All — stages everything (git add -A)

The buttons appear intelligently: “Stage” only shows for files with unstaged changes, “Unstage” only for staged files.

Committing

Below the changes list, a commit section appears when there are changes:

1. Type your commit message in the text field
2. Click Commit Staged to commit only staged files
3. Or click Commit All & Push to stage everything, commit, and push in one action

Context menu actions

Right-click on a repository directory for quick access to:

• Fetch, Pull, Push, Stage All
• Open in Terminal (uses your preferred terminal app from Settings)

Right-click on a file inside a repo for:

• Stage / Unstage (only when applicable)

From the menu bar

The Repository menu provides the same actions with keyboard shortcuts:

Menu items are enabled/disabled based on what’s selected and whether the file actually has changes.
