Hedge Helper

Automatically set up Hedge with the Hedge Helper menu bar app.
Hedge Helper is a small menu bar app (for MacOS) that enables you to automatically set up Hedge with a specific configuration (Workspaces). 
Hedge Helper is currently in Beta and because it uses API calls it requires a Hedge Pro license. Email [email protected] if you are interested in a Hedge Pro license. All pro features can be found here.
Hedge Helper also installs a Finder Extension which allows you to use the contextual right-click menu in Finder to set a Source, Destination, or copy/paste with Hedge instead of Finder.
Hedge Helper and the Hedge Finder Extension
Getting Started
1.​Download Hedge Helper 1.4 
2.Open the app and click the Hedge Helper icon in the menu bar
3.Select Example Workspace.
4.Hedge will open, and a Source and Destination will get set.
Workspace files are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/Hedge/Workspaces/. You can quickly get to this location by selecting Manage Workspaces...
A Workspace is a JSON file that specifies how to set up Hedge. For each JSON file in the Workspaces folder, a separate menu item is created.
