Frequently Asked Questions
Why are teams switching from Git LFS to Diversion?
Teams switch from Git LFS to Diversion when Git-based workflows start breaking down at scale. Large repositories, heavy binary assets, file size limits, storage costs, and slower performance can make Git LFS difficult to manage for game development and creative projects. Diversion is built for scalable repositories with both code and large files, using one workflow without a separate LFS layer or file-size cap. Unlike Git-based workflows, which are often programmer-oriented and harder for artists or non-technical team members to use, Diversion offers a modern UI that is accessible for developers, artists, and designers working in the same project. Its native binary support, intuitive interface, and scalable architecture help teams keep working smoothly as their projects grow.
Does Diversion handle large files better than Git LFS?
Yes. Git LFS imposes effective file-size limits and performance penalties on repositories with many large binaries. Diversion is built specifically for binary-heavy workflows. There are no LFS-style size limits, no separate storage tier to manage, and commits scale to 400,000 or more files per minute regardless of file size.
What about Git ecosystem tools, do they work with Diversion?
Diversion is not Git-based, but supports the workflows Git users expect: branching, merging, pull-request-style reviews, webhooks, CI/CD integration, and a REST API. Diversion provides its own IDE plugins, CLI, and Unreal Engine plugin, and integrates with common CI systems.
Can I migrate from Git LFS to Diversion?
Yes. Diversion provides automated migration tools that import repository history from Git or Git LFS, preserving commit history and authorship. Hands-on migration support is included.
Does Diversion's pricing compare favorably to Git LFS storage costs?
For large binary-heavy projects, yes. Git LFS storage costs scale per repository and provider (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket each have separate pricing tiers). Diversion includes 100GB of storage on all paid plans with predictable per-user pricing, no separate LFS storage budget to manage.
How does Diversion's UI compare to GitHub or GitLab for binary files?
GitHub and GitLab were originally built around code workflows, with binary file support typically handled through Git LFS. Diversion is designed for teams working with both code and large binary assets in the same repository. Its modern UI includes in-app previews for images, 3D models, and code, real-time sync, hard locks for binary workflows, conflict-prevention indicators, and workflows that are easier for both developers and artists to use.
