FinderGit 0.3.0 is out β€” multi-select, folder drill-down, and a Finder-worthy right-click menu

Hey! Just shipped FinderGit 0.3.0 πŸŽ‰ The biggest focus of this release was making the app feel more like a real Finder companion β€” less "Git-aware directory list", more "place where you actually live when working with repos".

Highlights:


β–Έ Multi-select β€” ⇧-click / ⌘-click to select many files at once, then Delete, stage, or open them in one go. Full undo support on trash (⌘Z brings them back from the system Trash; if a path has been reclaimed, the trashed copy is revealed in Finder so nothing silently disappears).


β–Έ Folder drill-down β€” double-click a folder (or press Enter) to navigate into it. A proper Finder-style β—€ / β–Ά capsule up top lets you jump back and forward through your history, plus a clickable breadcrumb for multi-level jumps. Keyboard: ⌘[ / ⌘].


β–Έ Drag files out β€” grab the icon of any file (or folder) and drop it into another app: Finder window, chat, editor, whatever. Standard macOS file drag, works everywhere. The text portion stays click-through for selection.


β–Έ Rebuilt right-click menu β€” icons on every entry (SF Symbols), plus Finder-parity additions: Get Info (opens the system Get Info panel), Duplicate (Finder's "copy N" naming), Copy (the actual file, pasteable elsewhere). Stage/Unstage now also works on a whole multi-selection when they share a repo.


β–Έ Live tree refresh β€” if files change externally (terminal, build step, git clean), the tree updates on its own within ~300ms. No more ⌘R to see what's new. Selection and scroll survive the refresh.


β–Έ Dynamic window & tab titles β€” each tab now shows the folder you're currently in, not just "FinderGit". Native macOS tabs with ⌘T.


β–Έ Sparkle settings panel β€” Settings β†’ General β†’ Updates: toggle check-on-launch, scheduled auto-check, and a "Check for Updates Now…" button.


Smaller quality-of-life wins: better keyboard shortcuts everywhere, cleaner visual hierarchy, a few papercuts fixed.

Grab it here: https://findergit.app β€” free, macOS 15+, single binary.

Feedback very welcome, especially on the drill-down / back-forward flow. Anything that feels off, let me know πŸ™
