11/10/2023 0 Comments Git lfs unity![]() Github helpfully provides us with some useful instructions here: ![]() We can’t add a Unity gitignore here as we’d be unable to sync this with our local folder. Give a meaningful name and description tailored to your project, and don’t change the settings, especially those under (“Skip this step if you’re importing with an existing repository”). Github Setupįirst, make sure Unity is closed when you do this.Ĭreate a Github account if you don’t already have one here, and create a new repository to house your unity project. Now we’ve got a git repository set up on our local machine, so we’ll have to back it up to the internet via Github. ![]() Unfortunately, Github doesn’t allow downloading of part of a repository, so you’ll have to grab the whole lot and unzip it. Alternately, you can download the whole repository here and then just drag and drop the file that you want. Then, you can copy the file’s contents into a new text file (just make one with notepad) and save it as Unity.gitignore in the same folder we’ve been using, containing your and folders. The easiest way to do this is to get the Git-endorsed Unity GitIgnore from here: To ignore these files, you’ll need to specify their types and place them in a gitignore file. If you deleted them while working on a project, they’d just be autogenerated as soon as we restarted, which is a fact we’re banking on here. Since Unity generates a lot of random files that you won’t want to track and are overwritten constantly, as well as many cache files, you’ll want to tell git somehow that we don’t care about these files. The gitignore file tells git what filetypes to exclude when working with a project. Īlso, if you have hidden files showing ( View > Hidden Items in the File Explorer), you’ll notice a new folder, called. It should read Initialized empty Git repository in. Then, hit enter and a bit of text will show up, saying what has been done. In the command window, you’ll have to type git init to initialize a git repository in the current directory (given by the path at the start of a line, which is wherever you opened the git bash). To set up a repository, which is basically a designation for Git to be able to work with your project, you’ll have to open a command window (or a Git Bash window, which is a slightly more advanced command prompt) by right clicking anywhere in the directory and selecting Git Bash Here. Additionally, if you’ve been working on your project for a while, you might have other folders and files. The _.vscode file _is generated as I’ve set VSCode as my editor, so you may not have this. This is what a new Unity Project looks like. The latest version, as of now is 2019.3.0, and this link wil ltake you to the default installer for Unity Hub, which can manage your Unity versions across a device and is overall a nice addition to the Unity workflow. If for some reason you don’t have Unity installed:Īlso, I’m assuming you have Unity installed. This will make everything a lot easier and brings back the “Open a command window here” option when using the context menu in Windows explorer. You can leave the installation settings as the default, just make sure Windows Explorer Integration > Git Bash Here is enabled. You can download the Git installer from For your operating system of choice. This is going to go over setup for Windows machines only, as I’m not familiar with Mac OS and I wouldn’t dare try this on Linux for fear of breaking my distro (again) so you’ll have to hack this guide to work on your system if it’s not running good ol’ Windows 10. If any of these apply to you, read on! Setup If you want a log of previous versions of your project and some way to revert to them, or implement experimental features that _might_ break your code.If you’re working on a project with a partner or group, and want a way to sync your work without uploading and downloading a million files to Google Drive or Dropbox.If you have multiple computers, (say, a laptop and desktop) and want to work on a project using both of them, while having the project files synced between them.If you’re unfamiliar with this, here are some use cases I can think of off the top of my head: Git is a highly versatile and powerful tool for source control and collaboration, which makes it incredibly useful for Unity development.
