OP // GUIDES

Guides.

Two short briefings — get Git It running, then bend the timeline with confidence.

BRIEFING 01

Getting started

Install prerequisites, grab the build, open your first repo.

  1. 01

    Install the tools

    Run xcode-select --install — this gives you git and python3, the two things Git It expects on your PATH.

  2. 02

    Download the build

    Grab the signed & notarized .dmg from the latest release — Apple Silicon or Intel, whichever matches your Mac.

  3. 03

    Drag into Applications

    Drag Git It into Applications and launch — it opens with a normal double-click.

  4. 04

    Open your first repository

    Open a repo from the app and explore the commit graph.

BRIEFING 02

Commit-time editing

Shift, set, or compress commit times — with a preview and one-click undo.

  1. 01

    Select a range

    Select a commit or a range in the graph.

  2. 02

    Choose a mode

    Pick Offset (shift by a delta), Exact (set a specific time), or Compress (squeeze the range into a new window).

  3. 03

    Preview

    Preview the result before anything is written.

  4. 04

    Apply

    Apply — a git-bundle backup is taken automatically first.

  5. 05

    Undo if needed

    Changed your mind? Undo in one click.
