Is there a git client for Mac OS that integrates with Finder to put badges like ticks and crosses on files representing their version status, like tortoiseSVN and Dropbox do?
Basically all you need to do is type 'open . ' to open the current directory in Finder and then click the Git button to open up git gui.
Git comes with built-in GUI tools for committing (git-gui) and browsing (gitk), but there are several third-party tools for users looking for platform-specific experience.
Working with GUI Step 1: Download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. Step 2: Use the default options for each step in the installation. Step 3: Remove Git Bash Desktop Icon. Step 4: Go to Start > All Programs > Git > Git GUI and make a Desktop Shortcut.
Following @viskin, I recently find another small app named SnailGit, that pretend to be Tortoise-like for Git and Finder
I use a Finder replacement software called Pathfinder. Pathfinder has builtin Git and Subversion support. Pathfinder is not open source, or even freeware, but if you're a developer on a Mac, it is worth the price. If you are using Github, Github for the Mac is a good choice.
That said, I still do most of my Subversion and Git work directly from the command line. You have better control, and the ability to integrate Git commands with various Unix command line tools. Unless you're using an IDE like Eclipse, there's no better way to work with Git than the command line.
Besides, I'm old school and believe GUI development environments are for sissies. You want to develop on the Mac? Here's the software for you. Put it in full screen mode, and you'll know what VT100 terminal emulation is all about. Maybe you'll even pick up a little Fortran.
