## What it is
HUBFS is a user-space file system that mounts GitHub and GitLab repositories as regular directories and files, so any application can read and edit remote repo contents without knowing about Git. It is a Go command-line tool built on WinFsp/FUSE with OAuth authentication and system keyring token storage.

## Use cases
- browse github repositories as local files
- edit files in a remote git repo without cloning
- run build tools against a github repository mounted as a filesystem
- access private gitlab repos from any file-based application
- mount a git repository as a drive on windows
- grep or search a remote repo without downloading it

## When to choose
- you want any application to transparently access GitHub/GitLab repos as files
- you need to inspect or edit repo contents without a full clone
- you work on Windows and want desktop-integrated access to Git hosting

## When to avoid
- you need fast, offline, or heavy local development workflows (a real clone is better)
- you need a general-purpose Git client or full Git history operations
- you only need to browse repos in a browser or via the GitHub API
