Git Integration

Path Finder includes built-in Git integration, so you can see repository status and perform common actions without leaving your file manager.

Enable Git features

1. Open Path Finder.

2. Go to Path Finder > Settings….

3. Open the Features tab (or equivalent).

4. Make sure Git integration is enabled.

Once enabled, Path Finder will recognize Git repositories when you navigate into them.

See Git status in the browser

When you open a folder that is a Git repository:

• Files and folders display status indicators showing whether they are:

  • Modified

  • Staged

  • Untracked

  • Ignored

This lets you see the state of your repo at a glance while browsing.

Run Git actions from Path Finder

On Git-tracked files/folders, you can:

• Right-click to access context menu actions (wording may vary by version), such as:

  • Commit

  • Pull

  • Push

  • Add / Stage

  • Revert or similar actions

You can often also open a diff view to compare the working version with the last committed version.

Diff / comparison view

When viewing changes:

• Text files can be shown with differences highlighted line by line.

• This is helpful for quick reviews without switching to a separate Git client.

For more advanced usage (branch management, complex history), you can still use your preferred Git tool; Path Finder’s integration is meant to cover the most common day-to-day tasks.

Using Git integration in Path Finder gives you a visual overview of your repository and quick access to essential version control operations directly from your file browser.
