Diversion vs Magit

Diversion is a cloud-native version control system for code, game assets, and media, with real-time collaboration and automatic cloud syncing. Changes are tracked without manual push or pull. It versions source code alongside large files such as textures, 3D models, audio, video, and datasets. Repositories can contain tens of millions of files and hundreds of terabytes, with partial and shallow checkouts available. Its Unreal Engine integration supports UGS and Horde workflows; Diversion Connect brings sync status, commits, branches, and history into Unity Editor. Jenkins and TeamCity integrations and a RESTful Web API are also listed. Studio and higher add code and asset reviews, hard locks, and granular permissions. Diversion supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and self-hosted deployment. Eligible academic institutions can use Education free for up to 10 users. Pro - A costs $25 a month per user and includes up to 50 seats, 100GB storage, unlimited repositories, and up to three webhooks. A 21-day trial is listed.

Magit is a free text-based Git interface implemented as an Emacs package for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It supports routine repository work including logging, cloning, pushing, merging, rebasing, cherry-picking, reverting, and blaming. Status buffers show the current branch, unpulled and unpushed changes, plus staged and unstaged work, and refresh after state-changing commands. Users can stage or unstage whole files, individual hunks, or selected hunk sections, then create or edit commits with amend, squash, and fixup workflows. Magit runs Git commands and can display them. The companion Forge package connects with GitHub and GitLab APIs for issues, pull requests, and other data. Magit is distributed under GNU GPL version 3 or later and installs through MELPA or MELPA Stable. The manual says it does not wrap every Git command, requires basic Emacs and Git experience, and may refresh large repositories slowly.
