About:
Retcon is a graphical Git client designed for rewriting repository history. It provides an intuitive drag-and-drop interface for rebasing, squashing, reordering, and amending commits. This visual approach simplifies complex Git operations, making it easier to maintain a clean and readable project history.
Key Features:
  • Visual commit graph and history
  • Drag-and-drop rebasing and squashing
  • In-place commit message editing
  • Interactive staging (git add -p) visualization
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning up feature branch history before merging a pull request
  • Rewriting commit history to remove sensitive information
  • Squashing multiple commits into a single, atomic commit
Alternatives:
  • git rebase -i – Retcon provides a graphical interface for the same interactive rebase operations done on the command line.
  • Fork – Fork is a full-featured Git client with a broader set of tools, while Retcon focuses specifically on history editing.
