Welcome to Diversion!
Diversion is a powerful yet simple-to-use source code management tool that continuously syncs with the cloud. Its concepts, such as branching and committing, are similar to those of other source code management tools, but using Diversion is much easier.
How it works
Diversion synchronizes files that you change or create in your local workspace to the cloud in real time. It also updates files in your local workspace from the cloud with any changes made by other users. This ensures that you always have the latest version of the files in the branch you are working on and reduces the chance of conflicts.
