    <p>One solution, which doesn't rely on the front-end to support manipulating a remote repo directly, would be to mount the remote as a networked filesystem. If you only have SSH access to the remote machine, you could try using <a href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html">SSHFS</a> via <a href="http://fuse.sourceforge.net/">FUSE</a> (on Linux) or <a href="http://osxfuse.github.com/">OSXFUSE</a> on Mac OS X. Or depending on your preferences and setup, you could use SMB, NFS, DAV, or another network filesystem.</p> <p>Another way to do it, that I bring up in the comments, is to export the network filesystem from your development machine to your server. I do this so that I can mount my current working copy on multiple machines at once, and also so that I still have my local working copy even when I'm not connected to the server.</p> <p>You write:</p> <blockquote> <p>I am surprised git software can't deal with remote repos as the working version.</p> </blockquote> <p>Most Git GUIs do some of their work by calling out to the <code>git</code> command. In order for them to support remote operation, core Git would have to as well. It is written in a mix of C and shell script; all of that would have to be rewritten to cope with remote files.</p> <p>A text editor has a much easier job; it reads one file when you open it, and writes when you save, while Git reads and writes many files in the course of a single operation like <code>commit</code>.</p> <p>A networked filesystem would mean that all tools (Git and otherwise) will work on your remote files. Instead of building a layer into each and every application to support networked file access, doing it in the kernel (or via FUSE) and then just treating it like a local filesystem gives you that support in every application for free.</p>

    1. COIf git software can't deal with remote repos for my development version then this sounds like a good option, adding the remote as a network drive. Will look into that. Thanks.

    2. CO@LaurenceCope I'm guessing that most Git frontends can't operate remotely, but I don't have experience with most of them. Actually, I tend to do it the opposite way around; export the development directory on my local disk to the servers that I'm testing on. I happen to use SMB for this purpose because I'm already using it for other reasons, but any network filesystem should work.

    3. COUpdate: it seems GitHub and Gitbox cannot "see" the .git files when the remote is mounted on a sshfs drive. I am not getting any status, or any information about the repo at all :(. I can see the .git files in Finder Ok though.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
