See how Git empowers hardware teams:
Collaboration
Git enables team members to work on the same project without conflicts. Engineers can develop independently and merge changes only when they’re ready, resulting in smoother teamwork and quicker iterations.
Automated workflow
Git helps streamline repetitive tasks and integrates seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines tailored to hardware development. This enables teams to automate processes like design validation, testing, and deployment, reducing manual effort and errors.
Version control
With Git, hardware engineers can effectively manage complex design iterations. Its version control system ensures every change is documented, categorized, and easily traceable.
Traceability
Git’s commit history allows hardware teams to document every stage of development. This traceability is helpful for audits, troubleshooting, and maintaining accountability across the team.
By integrating Git into your hardware design process, you can document, track, categorize, and manage your design history, from idea to production.
