Quick answer: Diversion is a cloud-native version control system built for game and multimedia teams, designed to handle massive binary files without the setup pain of Git LFS or Perforce. It offers automatic cloud synchronization, conflict-prevention notifications, built-in Unreal Engine integration, and a free tier for small teams. Artstash partners with Diversion to add the digital asset management layer—visual previews, AI tagging, and semantic search—on top of Diversion's version control.
Here at Artstash, we’re all about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the creative industries. As a platform dedicated to empowering teams with cutting-edge tools, we love seeing fresh challengers in the game tools space. That’s why we’re excited to shine a spotlight on Diversion, a revolutionary version control system (VCS) that’s setting a new standard for managing multimedia projects.
Whether you’re developing games, creating CGI, or managing complex multimedia workflows, Diversion is a tool you should know about. As a companion to Artstash’s powerful Digital Asset Management (DAM) capabilities, Diversion brings efficiency, simplicity, and collaboration to the forefront of version control.
Why Diversion Stands Out
Managing large multimedia projects is no easy feat. Traditional VCS tools like Git and Perforce, while powerful, can be difficult to use, especially for teams handling massive files or navigating creative workflows. Diversion is changing the game by offering a sleek, cloud-based alternative that focuses on the needs of modern teams.
Here’s why Diversion is a standout:
Effortless Large File Management
Designed from the ground up to handle massive multimedia files and repositories, Diversion eliminates the configuration headaches and performance bottlenecks that plague traditional systems.
Automatic Cloud Synchronization
Work with peace of mind knowing that your files are automatically synced to the cloud. Diversion ensures that every change is saved and that all team members are working with the latest version.
Conflict-Free Collaboration
Diversion’s smart notifications let you know when someone else is working on the same file, drastically reducing merge conflicts and preserving your hard work.
Built-In Unreal Engine Integration
Game developers, take note! Diversion’s seamless integration with Unreal Engine makes managing .uasset files a breeze, enabling smooth collaboration and enhanced workflows.
Granular Permissions
Whether you’re working with internal teams or external collaborators, Diversion’s folder-level permissions give you precise control over who can access what.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
With support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as plugins for popular IDEs, Diversion adapts to how your team works.
