@retcon.app
The macOS app for effortlessly rewriting Git history. https://retcon.app
Here's Retcon 1.6.1, with an assortment of fixes, but also a few new features and improvements. Update now for a nicer time!
A short video look at cherry picking in @retcon.app! It’s the sort of thing that’s fun to see in action. #macOS #git
Retcon now lets you cherry pick commits with ease. Copy commits with ⌘C, and paste them on another branch with ⌘V. That's it! Update from the app, or get the free trial now: retcon.app/
In the middle of a large interactive rebase, you realize the commit list you arranged wasn't quite right. Maybe a commit is missing, or misplaced, or something else. Where usually you'd have to start over, Retcon lets you course-correct on the fly: your history remains fully editable, always.
Retcon 1.5 releases today! It brings an updated UI on Tahoe, a redesigned icon, and an assortment of improvements and fixes. Update from the Retcon menu, or get the app from retcon.app. (please also update to macOS 26.1, which resolves many system bugs, some of which impact Retcon)
New blog post! Retcon 1.4 got a lot faster. Much of that speed is owed to caches. Straightforward caches, oddly-specific caches, hard-to-invalidate caches, the works. Here's some details about them! pending.design/making-retcon-...
