KiHub
Visual hardware change review and checks for KiCad projects
About KiHub
KiHub provides a browser-native hardware change review workspace for KiCad projects. Compare pull requests, branches, tags, or commits, and view visual diffs for schematics and PCBs. Before merging, teams can check ERC, DRC, schematic/PCB consistency, BOM completeness, and project policies, anchor issues and change requests to exact design locations, and return review decisions through GitHub Checks for an auditable decision record.
