Easy Version Control for Unreal Engine 5 - Diversion Tutorial

[@CobraCode]

Really enjoyed this app even in the beta! A great and easy to use alternative www.diversion.dev/?GDgEzTxAGSA

[@partialdata]

LOVE IT! Please keep this affordable Diversion we indie devs broke out here

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks for showing this tool man!! 🔥

You're saving lives Cobra

7:02 - oh man that is slick .... very nice

[@JayTheDevGuy]

Finally, source control for dumb bitches like myself. Every time I've tried to set up source control I've gotten confused, but it seems like Diversion has made it really easy, and you, as always, have made a fantastic tutorial. I'm definitely going to try this. Thanks!

[@CobraCode]

Thank you :) Yeah, I feel like it's the easiest to get into out of all the options available at the moment!

[@Wrexthor]

I wish i knew about this before spending several days setting up a local perforce server! Looks so much easier to use, perforce is a pain most of the time!

[@NuttachaiTipprasert]

Perforce is trash. I don't know why people still use it.

[@deolink]

Diversion seems pretty interesting. Cool video

[@CobraCode]

Thank you :)

[@drinkwwwaterrr]

I'll definitely use diversion for version control, seems so easy and efficient :)

[@CobraCode]

Yeah definitely. It let's you skip a lot of annoying steps :D

[@NightFoxZero]

This would've saved me soooo many issues trying to get other version controls up and running for my team on past projects

[@nicholassutherland5093]

That's pretty incredible! I'm thrilled that you got to beta-test Diversion. Free access to 100GB and Plugin Support in Unreal, adds so much value. One of my main concerns while learning about version control, was affordability, while I'm still just learning and figuring things out. I'll try this out while I continue following your online courses.

[@CobraCode]

Thank you :) Yeah Github is really easy to get into and there are many tutorials, but having to understand LFS and being capped to 1GB is a big issue. So glad we now have this other option!

[@BraggsTippingPoint]

Thanks for this video! I was literally just dipping my feet into version control yesterday and started with Perforce and was pulling my hair out with how confusing their tutorials were. I set up Diversion in minutes and is working perfect. So easy.

[@CobraCode]

Awesome, glad it was easy to figure out for you as well :D

[@mx-gamesdev8287]

Yes i tried with Git And i kept getting errors it turned out i was over the size with my project why did it error why didnt it say You need to BUY More space it was stupid all Friggin day trying out git Rubish only to find out this Diversion is so much more easier to use and setup No LFS Garbage it just works

[@BraggsTippingPoint]

@@CobraCode I wish you would have covered how to revert changes inside the app. I'm on windows and I don't have the open terminal option and also have no clue how to do it in the desktop app.

[@CobraCode]

@@BraggsTippingPoint If you're on the newest version of the desktop app I believe there should just be a button now with these options

[@compatriot852]

Looks like a very useful tool, especially for larger works dealing with multiple versions

[@L7ckyC4t]

Looks great! Especially seeing what is being worked on right now is such a cool feature!

[@behrampatel4872]

Thanks for doing this man. I was going to go for the free perforce version but after this I'll go diversion. Love your courses . I'll use diversion in conjunction with them now. Cheers b

[@CobraCode]

Thank you :) I had to use perforce before at work... and yeah I'm definitely not a fan of it.

[@brandonjacksoon]

Thank man! Always helpful videos and tutorials!

[@brandonjacksoon]

That's interesting! Thanks for sharing this information!

[@BACO1029]

Pretty cool, i love doing submits through editor!

[@YahiyaJasem]

Great video indeed! Looking forward to trying this, thank you for sharing

[@ViRiXDreamcore]

Man this is great. We’re using Microsoft Azure and it’s run by Microsoft so you know it acts dumb for no reason.

[@StevenHarmonGames]

I literally just set up Git LFS ($5 a month for 50gigs) and now I hear about this?!?! Next project for sure I'm switching

[@reede140]

This looks like a pretty interesting version control setup, which i'll definitely have to play around with. I've tried using perforce before and that was not particularly great to set up, especially if you just wanted a simple local repo setup and not worry about cloud as I was just looking to test it out, but just seemed to fight me every step of the way. It is cool that you can also integrate it alongside git, though I was wondering how it handles code and the C++ diffing itself.

[@skippyzk]

Freaking amazing

[@Brice31]

Nice 👍

[@puffhoey]

Great Alternative Next Udemy Course When?

[@CobraCode]

Thank you! Actually working on the prototype for it every day! Will share more once I'm 100% done prototyping and have the entire curriculum nailed down!

[@puffhoey]

[@CobraCode]

Hey, here's a discount link: tinyurl.com/Ultimate2D

[@Cpt.Tripps]

Is it possible to run a server for this system locally (e.g a workstation in your network), like you can with perforce, or is it cloud only?

[@marsh-refinery-studio]

Cloud only right now

[@driedpotatoes]

Genuine question - why don't people just use Git LFS?

[@CobraCode]

Actually made a video 1 year ago covering that and the problems with it. The biggest problem is that you have to start paying for storage on Github after going over 1GB of LFS storage or bandwith. Gitlab is a lot more generous, but you're capped to 5 team members, so that will often be a deal breaker for game jams and team projects. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5-VeoCnmNeFos0

[@reede140]

To add onto what @CobraCode said, i've worked with LFS a fair bit in my day to day work and in general it's not..... particularly reliable. It has a tendency not to play well with GUI GIT tools and can end up resulting in repos taking minutes (I've had some take as long as 20-30 minutes, but generally tends to level out around 1-3 minutes) to push or pull commits. Using GitKraken as well the hooks folder has a tendency to get corrupted regularly resulting in the inability to push commits, so I've spent a lot of time having to effectively act as IT for a team of people using LFS looking into a myriad of issues. The general consensus is that LFS was built more as a hack around to git as opposed to truly being built to support large files, so it just really seems rather error prone and I would advise people to avoid if they have the option.

[@driedpotatoes]

@@CobraCode watching this now! thank you :)

[@terryrsh8927]

Always check the videos runtime to know if it's worth watching.... I see what you did there

[@CobraCode]

Can you please elaborate? Because I don't see what I did here myself. This is simply the length the video naturally turned out to be after covering all the stuff I wanted to cover.

[@terryrsh8927]

@@CobraCode oh haha, I thought you did that on purpose. 1337 is a slang term for "leet"... short for Elite. Maybe I'm just showing my age a little. As always, the video was great and thanks for the information! I definitely plan on trying this version control on my next project

[@CobraCode]

@@terryrsh8927 Oh lol, thanks for elaborating. I didn't even notice that xD Right there with you. I still remember when I was playing wow all night back in the day and feeling like a chad when I somehow woke up at exactly 13:37 Thank you :D

[@affair2k]

Was too good to be true :( Wanted to pay for the Team tier but today they changed the price and now it's almost 8 times more expensive :(

[@CobraCode]

Thanks for letting me know about this! Yeah, looks like they just changed up the pricing structure.

[@diversion-dot-dev]

Hey! Yep, we changed it recently (had to for numerous reasons - communicated on our Discord server). But I think your calculation is wrong! It’s actually *cheaper* now for small studios of 10-15, a bit more expensive for larger (definitely not 8 times 😅). Users 1-5 are free always, and you still get the free 100GB storage. You can see the calculator on our pricing page. Happy game making!

[@affair2k]

@@diversion-dot-dev Well, 1Tb was 12Dollars before and now its 90usd, so no, my calculation is, unfortunately not wrong. Don't get me wrong, I understand there are reasons behind your decision, and that you need to run a sustainable business. It's just that now it's out of reach for me, that is all. I am not saying it is unfair or anything for the customer, but for me, it was too good to be true for 12 bucks and yeah, it was. Even 20 was a good price for me. I am not a pro, so I am not, for sure, your target customer.

[@marsh-refinery-studio]

​@@affair2ktake a look at 0:44, it was always 10$/month/100gb, with the first 100gb free, it didn't change. 1TB was never 12$ and you are unfortunately wrong

[@affair2k]

@@marsh-refinery-studio So the 12$ tier didn't include 1Tb? well, then I was really wrong. I thought when I read "1TB included storage" meant that. English is not my first language so I apologize for my stupidity.

[@NoobiWanKenobi]

Awesome stuff
