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!

Install from the command line

  • brew install --cask retcon

Be careful what you paste into a terminal. Check what a command installs before running it.

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.
