FinderGit 0.25.1 — a way out to the full picture

Highlights

The GitHub connection panel now links to GitHub's own status page. A Details link in the panel's footer opens it. The panel deliberately shows only the four services FinderGit depends on, and deliberately never renders a reassuring "all systems operational" banner — so when you want the rest (every service GitHub publishes, the 90-day uptime history, the full incident timeline), the honest answer is GitHub's page rather than a partial imitation of it.
The link is there whether or not the check succeeded. If anything, a status page FinderGit couldn't reach is exactly when you most want to open it yourself.

Under the hood

  • The human-facing status page URL is now the single source of truth: the API base is derived from it rather than maintained separately, so the page you open and the data the panel reads cannot drift onto different services.
  • GitLab and Bitbucket status pages are mapped too, ready for when those providers land. A host FinderGit can't identify — an enterprise install, a self-hosted forge — gets no link rather than a guessed one.
  • Why a link rather than a copy of that page: the uptime bars are not exposed by the status API at all (every plausible endpoint returns 404). They exist only inside the rendered page as ~990 markup elements, so reproducing them would mean parsing a third party's private HTML and breaking silently the next time they restyle it.

Install

Download the DMG below, drag FinderGit to Applications, and launch it. The app is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so no Gatekeeper bypass is needed. Existing installations update themselves.

Requirements

macOS 15 or later. Universal binary (Apple Silicon and Intel).

Verify this download

Compare the checksum of the file you downloaded:

shasum -a 256 FinderGit-0.25.1.dmg

It must print exactly:

406e4ce5b251c4dd7ea58f94d507754e8dc51c0cfec7fff53cbe575e69ee0028

The DMG is also signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple, which you can confirm without installing it:

spctl -a -vv -t open --context context:primary-signature FinderGit-0.25.1.dmg

That reports source=Notarized Developer ID for a genuine build.
