GHFS: Mount GitHub Repositories as Local macOS Directories
tom_doerr · x · 2026-08-14
An open-source macOS app called GHFS utilizes FSKit to mount GitHub repositories as a read-only virtual filesystem. Users can browse repository contents as if they were local directories; repositories are cloned on demand, and file reads are served via the GitHub API while the clone completes in the background. The tool is self-contained and requires no external dependencies like macFUSE, git, or gh.
