history

Project history and usage

Changes is an open-source, native macOS Git client designed to replace common command-line workflows with a focused graphical interface.

Project history

The application was originally named Tempo.app for its 1.x releases and was later renamed Changes. Version 2 repositioned it as a modern macOS Git client using Apple's contemporary interface technologies.

Adoption history

Changes is distributed as a downloadable macOS application and through Homebrew Cask. The public repository reflects an actively developed native client, while its documented platform requirements divide the newer 2.x line from older releases.

How it is used

Developers use Changes to stage individual hunks, commit or amend changes, inspect and search history, manage branches and tags, push and pull, merge, stash work, revert commits, and check out revisions.

Why package nerds care

Changes represents the continuing niche for focused, native Git front ends in developer package catalogs. Its SwiftUI/AppKit implementation, Apple Intelligence integration, and macOS-version split make release compatibility especially relevant to cask maintainers.

Timeline

  • 1.x: The application was distributed under the name Tempo.app.
  • 2.0: The project adopted the Changes name and required macOS 26 or later.

Related projects

  • Changes wraps Git workflows in a native graphical interface and uses Apple Intelligence for optional commit-message and stash-summary generation.

security posture

No protected-tool coverage found yet

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for changes. Package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.

Install behavior

  • No Homebrew post-install hook is recorded in formula metadata.
  • No Homebrew bottle metadata was recorded.

Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.
