Īll of the above issues and grief have probably been resolved last Friday (or at least I hope so) when I received an invite as early alpha tester for Abstract app. I found plenty of potential solutions on the web and, since last August, I have been personally following the best practices presented by Geoffroy Delobel in his useful article A successful Sketch collaborative model (I know, there is a Sketch Git plugin by Mathieu Dutour, but it is not yet fully developed, despite the hard work already undertaken :). I’ve been looking around for several months to find a solution to our troubles. My team is currently using Git to manage all the graphic files (both Sketch files and Adobe suite files), but only one of us can currently work on one individual file. raster files - so hard to track effectively with Git - or in general proprietary file formats which do not allow for a direct comparison between two versions of a project).Ībstract is the sine qua non for designers We also cannot actually merge them because graphic design tools usually relies either on binary files (i.e. But we all are in trouble because we cannot manage the differences between many versions of the same file.
