Retcon

Accidentally committed to the wrong branch? Just cut the commits with ⌘X, switch to the correct branch, and paste. No sweat. Retcon also seamlessly integrates with your clipboard manager: any commit you copy gets stored as a hash, and pasting it back will insert it into the history. Powerful.

Retcon now lets you cherry pick commits with ease. Copy commits with ⌘C, and paste them on another branch with ⌘V. That’s it!

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.

The new icon makes the most of the new style and constraints. It pairs well with Xcode’s own icon, but remains true to its predecessor, expanding on its design. Hopefully, Retcon will still feel right at home in your Dock!

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 https://retcon.app.

(please also update to macOS 26.1, which resolves many system bugs, some of which impact Retcon)

The app is now incredibly responsive, and easily handles Git histories with hundreds of thousands of commits. Every last part of Retcon was throughly tuned—with zero compromises.

If “~/.ssh/config” means something to you, then you'll like this update: Retcon 1.3 adds support for custom OpenSSH configurations!
Assign dedicated keys to specific remotes, conditionally override any connection parameter, use different SSH agents for different hosts—this update enables the SSH setup of your SSH dreams.

(It also upgrades important internals, which paves the way for future updates. Nice!)

@guillaumealgis@fosstodon.org No LFS support for now, sorry!

Want to help test Retcon? The next version will significantly upgrade the internals, adding support for some long-requested Git configurations—which also means it requires more testing than usual.

Click to open, right-click to drill down, and drag to… well, drag. New in Retcon 1.2.1, quickly work with your files using the new diff header.

Update now, or get the app at https://retcon.app.

Also new in last week's update: jump between tagged commits using ⌥⌘↑ and ⌥⌘↓. Handy for finding recent releases in your repo.

(and why not: add ⇧ for selecting intermediary commits, then copy their messages with ⌥⌘C, and you've got a head start on writing release notes!)
