• pull request
  • git

• check ssh github connection
  • GitHub
    git
• git submodule
  • A git repo inside a git repo is a submodule.
• git sparse-checkout
  • sparse checkout let’s you pull a single file with git
• test code in Blender
  • can create issues with git, if git tries to delete the link e.g. when changing branch
• Unity local manifest issue
  • Unity loads the UPM project manifest to decide which packages to download and install.
    Whenever you pull an update or change branch, and there was a change to the project manifest, a merge conflict will occur.
    So there’s currently no way to have a local manifest with user packages installed.
• Git LFS
  • git
• avoid developing Unity projects on Dropbox
  • The unity library is by default also uploaded, which unnecessary increases the project size and creates conflicts. This should be excluded from your version control, e.g. with a git ignore on git, or a perforce ignore on Perforce
• gitignore
  • .gitignore is a textfile that tells git which files to ignore, and not to track.
• Github fork
  • git
• Obsidian - code execution
  • bash is not installed by default on windows. You can link to the git bash path in settings C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe
• Subversion
  • also see git, and Perforce
• change caps for a committed file
  • git is easier to do. (see post)
• common source control mistakes
  • versioning inside source control. e.g. uploading a v1, v2, v3 to a git or Perforce repo
• compression on mesh variations
  • git only saves the changes between 2 textfiles, instead of saving 2 full textfiles
• git cheatsheet
  • git
• git filename too long
  • git
• git ignore versioned file changes
  • git
• git subtree
  • git
• local Unity tools - Git
  • This setup assumes you use git, and creates a local folder that is ignored by git to store your tools in. Other version control software (e.g. Perforce) should also support ignore files.
• tool distribution
  • are all tools setup the same on users’ pcs? (e.g. a tool monorepo hosted on git),
