Fork is a Files and Storage app for Mac.

About

Fork is a graphical Git client for macOS, with a companion fork command-line binary. It brings repository work, change review, and Git operations into one desktop application.

  • Fetch, pull, and push; create commits, amend them, and manage branches and tags.
  • Review working-tree and commit changes, including staging or unstaging individual lines and viewing diffs. Image diffs are also supported.
  • Use interactive rebase to edit, reorder, or squash commits, and inspect file history or line-level blame.
  • Work with merges, rebases, stashes, submodules, Git LFS, Git-flow, and GPG; use the merge-conflict resolver and restore commits with Reflog.

Install with brew install --cask fork@dev. Launch Fork from Applications; the cask also installs the fork command-line tool. This cask conflicts with the separate fork cask, so both cannot be installed together. Fork's official site describes the product as available for macOS and Windows, but this Homebrew cask installs the macOS application.

Install and uninstall

Homebrew installs the app in your Applications folder.

Install without Homebrew

Download the same file Homebrew uses: cdn.fork.dev/mac/Fork-2.70.2.dmg

SHA-256 only checks that the download is complete; it is not a security certification. See the SHA-256 and download address

Uninstall command
$ brew uninstall --cask fork@dev

A regular uninstall removes the app and keeps its settings and caches.

Deep clean (optional)
$ brew uninstall --zap --cask \fork@dev

--zap also deletes the settings, caches and other files listed in the Homebrew definition. They can include data shared with other apps and cannot be restored, and it does not guarantee that nothing is left.See which files are removed
