    Yes, we have a repo with the main library on there.

    The gatekeeper is the only one that can commit and log changes because merging is not an option. We've got a couple of channels on Slack, one is for suggested component changes (a place of discussion), the other is hooked up to git and notifies everyone when the library has been updated. Then people can load up Sourcetree (git gui) and see the commit message, do a pull and overwrite their main file.

    It's not the best option because everyone relies on the gatekeeper to keep the file up to date but we've found after several months that it only gets updated every couple of weeks and it's never going to be urgent enough to block people from working.

    Overall I think merging would be nice so more than one person can use and update it at a time but people have got used to waiting for the gatekeeper and he knows the components better than anyone, everything is built and named the same way.

    We have something similar. A main library (buttons, type, colours, layout etc) that feeds separate sketch libraries (lists, navigation) specific to that product. Having a "gatekeeper" seems the best option for us at the moment too.. once the main library was built it doesn't get changed that much.

    Haven't found the perfect version control yet, Abstract was a bit of an undertaking for our team because of moving all the files to their system. We use git simply to create a log of whats changed and it allows designers to pull from it when there's been an update.

    I had the same problem when building our library. For now I've created symbols from the text styles and use the overrides to change the content. I used this work-around for overriding the colors https://blog.prototypr.io/sketch-overriding-the-color-of-text-layers-in-symbols-69d54577158b. The only issue is that you can't change the font-weight

    All of these. I saw floating points recently with a full orchestra in London, phenomenal!

    You make a really good point. Except now I'm even more confused about the message of this ad.

    I don't like the message of this video at all. It didn't pull any of my heart strings (call me a scrooge) a kid stuck to his phone all of christmas. He just seems disconnected from the rest of his family even if he is filming a secret video!

    EDIT: He should of left his phone in his bedroom. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loWWoYeinlQ&feature=youtu.be
