Git helps millions of developers write and collaborate on code, but it’s not always a practical choice for building games. With the GitHub for Unity extension, Unity game developers (artists and programmers alike) can better integrate Git and GitHub into their workflow, even if they’re versioning large binary assets.
The GitHub for Unity extension integrates Git and GitHub directly into the Unity Editor. You can easily configure, collaborate, and manage your Git project in a dedicated window. The extension also includes Git LFS v2.0 support to store large binary assets and introduces file locking to help communicate with your team that you are working on difficult-to-merge files.
The GitHub for Unity extension is a first step towards unifying the GitHub and Unity workflows, and we’d love to hear your feedback to help guide us in the right direction. Watch for an alpha release over the next few weeks. We’ll be making the project open source and publishing the extension in the Unity asset store soon after.
Many thanks to Emil “AngryAnt” Johansen for all his help in getting this project up and running.
