Source Files is a faster way to access GitHub, Gitea, GitLab and BitBucket from the Finder and Files app without having to clone repositories or commit changes.
Using REST APIs instead of the traditional Git protocol you will be editing files in even the largest repositories in seconds:
• Drag a repository URL to the Files app
• Browse the directory that immediately appears
• Open and Edit files in your favorite app
Source Files is file oriented and making edits to 3 different files will result in 3 commits. It is possible to configure the app to work in a branch where a messy commit history is acceptable and merge changes back using pull requests. Consider using traditional Git clients like Working Copy or Tower for projects that need a tidy commit history in all branches.
There is rich support for automation with Shortcuts actions to List, Download, Upload and Move files.
Uploading files from the Mac services menu and share sheet is supported and very fast as target directories are remembered for different file types.
The app is free to use with a single server. A Pro Unlock is required for multiple servers, available as a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription, with access shared across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. A one-week free trial allows users to evaluate Pro features before purchase.
Source Files is restricted by GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket API quotas that depend on your account privileges.
Extremely useful for anyone who uses Git repositories, allowing you to have direct and easy access to them from within the Files app. A great companion app to Working Files (also by the same developer) for when you just need to make minor changes or quickly access files.
Very useful!

This is a great app, very thoughtfully designed with all the little features that matter. If you ever wanted a simple way to browse and edit files in your git repos, this is the app you’re looking for!
Source Files + git + shortcut app integration

Id give more than 5 stars if I could. This app speeds up a few tasks in a way that no other app has. It’s written by Anders, what else did you expect?! Perfection
