More About Source Files: Git Storage
The application allows users to interact with large repositories seamlessly by utilizing REST APIs, which significantly enhances editing speed compared to the traditional Git protocol. Users can simply drag and drop a repository URL into the Finder to initiate the process. Once the repository is loaded, a directory appears that allows easy browsing, enabling users to open and edit files in their preferred applications without any hassle.
Source Files is designed with a focus on file management and editing. When multiple files are modified, the app creates individual commits for each of those files. This feature caters to those who prefer to work in a more relaxed branch environment, where a disorganized commit history might be permissible. However, for projects where maintaining a clean commit history is essential, it is recommended to use conventional Git clients like Working Copy or Tower, which offer better control and organization across branches.
The application boasts robust automation capabilities through Shortcuts actions. Users can perform various actions such as listing, downloading, uploading, and moving files efficiently, which enhances productivity. This integration with automation tools allows users to streamline their workflows and make file management tasks simpler and more effective.
In addition to automation, the application facilitates quick uploads from the Mac services menu and share sheet. It remembers target directories based on different file types, making the upload process even faster. This feature is especially useful for users who frequently upload files to their repositories, as it saves time and reduces repetitive actions.
While downloading and uploading files are categorized as pro features, users can take advantage of a 7-day free trial to test out all Pro functionalities. After the trial period, users can choose to subscribe on a monthly basis or opt for a Lifetime unlock option, which provides access across their iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. The app operates within the API quotas set by services like GitHub, GitLab, and BitBucket, which may vary based on user account privileges.
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 Finder
• 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.
Downloading and Uploading files are pro features. You get a 7 day free trial of all Pro features to explore the benefits after which you can subscribe Monthly or purchase a Lifetime unlock which is shared between iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Source Files is restricted by GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket API quotas that depend on your account privileges.
