## What it is
A Git client plugin built into Sketch that generates pretty visual diffs of design files so teams can review changes through GitHub. It extracts artboards from .sketch files to render image-based diffs for pull request reviews.

## Use cases
- version control for sketch design files
- generate visual diffs of design changes
- review design changes in github pull requests
- collaborate on sketch files with git
- document design iteration history

## When to choose
- your team designs in Sketch and wants git-based version control with visual diffs
- you need design changes reviewable through GitHub's interface

## When to avoid
- you use the sandboxed App Store version of Sketch
- you want an actively maintained project - the author recommends Kactus instead
- you don't use Sketch or macOS

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: version-control, developer-tools, image-processing
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, web-design
- platform: -
- tags: sketch-plugin, git-client, design-workflow, diffs, code-review, macos, sketch
