Monzo File Cleaner – the Sketch plugin to keep files clean, and why we think that really matters(monzo.com)

We have another tool that we use on top of Github that automatically exports our artboards, but aside from that its all pretty vanilla Git.
Right now every designer merges directly to Master and we've managed to avoid issues with conflicts pretty successfully, but I anticipate this will start breaking very soon, so from early next year we'll start requiring designers to work in branches and make PRs when a piece of work is finished.
I do find viewing files through Github a pain in the ass. Do you have any tools or suggestions that could make this easier?

No suggestions, aside from ones you've probably looked at already.
I like the Kactus is part open-source and is a layer on top of Git, but it was crashing when I tried it.
You mentioned you keep the Sketch files (and related resources) in Git. Do you do anything special, or just keep them in there? By special, I mean using some tool for viewing them, merge conflicts, etc. We're trying to find a good versioning approach for our design files, but haven't been satisfied with anything we've tried.
