git-fs

Mount Mesa repositories as read-only local directories without cloning.

git-fs is a FUSE-based virtual filesystem ideal for agents, CI pipelines, and large monorepos where a full clone is impractical. Supports macOS and Linux.

Alpha Software - GitFS is early-stage. If you run into issues, please open an issue.

Quick Start

Install from GitHub Releases, then:

git-fs run

git-fs generates a default config and creates a mount directory automatically. Browse any public GitHub repo:

ls /run/user/$(id -u)/git-fs/mnt/github/daytonaio/daytona   # Linux
ls ~/Library/Application\ Support/git-fs/mnt/github/daytonaio/daytona  # macOS

Hit Ctrl+C to stop.
