Hi so I’m an EE student looking to see what others are using for things like design review or version control for projects. My current internship opened my eyes to the fact that there are not a lot of widely used solutions for online collaboration for EE work like PCB design. What are you using? Are there apps taking advantage of git that you like?

 

I normally use git (external) for hardware version control.

Helllo,
It's essential part of development (configuration management). But the designer tool shall use readable text based database (it's required to support review - like KiCad). It's also good practice to use sliced/library based database to support the parallel work.

 

I use Altium with git. It supports it internally and if you use their cloud solution you can get even better functions like side by side comparison of PCB and Schemas.
I don't use the cloud but local git still works pretty great
