# repositories-app

**Work in progress** - will be released as freemium. You can [sponsor](https://github.com/sponsors/samdenty) if you like the idea / want access to full version once released.

A Mac app which allows you to access any file / folder on github, without cloning.

Creates a virtual `GitHub` folder in your home directory. Files from repos can be accessed using paths like `~/GitHub/username/repo/README.md`. When filesystem operations are performed, the results are cached and persisted to a local database.



  



All user folders have icons sourced from GitHub:

Repo folders have icons sourced from automatically crawling the linked website / README:

And all files have icons sourced from your IDE:
