Retcon

Retcon is a native macOS application designed to streamline the process of rewriting Git history, making it as intuitive as a drag-and-drop. It allows users to undo actions with a simple press of ⌘Z, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow. The app emphasizes the importance of Git history as a communication tool, enabling developers to present their code decisions, tradeoffs, and insights clearly and meaningfully.

With Retcon, rewording commits is simplified compared to conventional GUIs or the Git CLI. Users can select a commit, enter a new message, and their files and stage remain intact. This contrasts with the multi-step processes required in traditional tools. Additionally, Retcon offers an easy undo feature for various Git operations, such as creating, deleting, or rewording commits, pulling from or pushing to a remote, and resolving conflicts.

Conflict resolution in Retcon is enhanced with features like detailed diffs, full context views, instant previews, and precise undo capabilities. The app provides a contextual guide to assist users through each step of resolving conflicts without blocking their workflow.

Retcon is packed with features that enhance usability and productivity, including browser-like head history, a pause badge in the Dock, a built-in test sandbox, and customizable options like the toolbar and shortcuts. It supports light and dark themes, respects system accent colors, and offers seamless integration with macOS. Users can also manage repositories, rebase or merge branches, and perform various Git operations with ease.

Overall, Retcon refines the process of rewriting Git history, making it more efficient, intuitive, and integrated with macOS's native features.
