This native macOS app sounds like a game-changer for developers working with Git! The ability to effortlessly rewrite commit history with a simple drag-and-drop interface makes it more accessible for users at all levels. Plus, the undo feature is essential for preventing mistakes during the process. I can see how having clear context for each step would improve workflow efficiency. Looking forward to trying it out!

What is Retcon?

The native macOS app for effortlessly rewriting Git history. Move and squash commits with drag-and-drop, undo any mistake with cmd+Z, and get crystal-clear context at every step.

  • Rewrite Git history much faster, with a clear view of the repository's state.

  • Manipulate commits directly: no need to switch to a different mode or window.

  • Reword commits as easily as you rename files, by editing messages in place.

  • Undo almost anything with a press of cmd+Z, including commits reorders, complex rebases, and even remote pushes.

  • Rewrite, pull, or switch branches without having to stash+unstash your changes. Even staged changes are transparently preserved.

  • See the full context when paused for a conflict: successfully-applied commits, to-be-applied commits.

  • Keep making changes even when a conflict awaits resolution.

  • Use the built-in sandbox repository to freely experiment with rewriting history.

  • No lock-in. Use Retcon in tandem with your favorite IDE, generalist Git client, and Git host.

  • Mature: Retcon 1.0 was built and perfected over more than two years of development. The app benefits from extensive automated testing, a year-long closed beta—which welcomed hundreds of testers—and UX testing sessions with users.
