Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Native macOS app for browsing and editing Git history: reorder commits, merge commits into the parent, rename commit titles and descriptions, edit files within commits, split commits. Undo everything and anything with Cmd+Z. Much clearer UI for conflict resolution. Test everything in a sandbox repo first.

Tradeoffs
