This should have been on the top of my YT search list when I was looking for Version Control Tutorial in Unity.

[@FranciscoTChavez]

I feel like they should have talked a bit more about Git LFS. After all, it only really helps with things like texture (images), model-files, scene files, and other large files. Basically, Git doesn't do well, with things like binary files and assets that are still being worked on. And, by "doesn't do well", what I mean is, the size of the repo will get bloated very quickly, which affects things like clones and merges. LFS helps alleviate a lot of these issues, which is why I think its necessary for Unity Projects by default.

And also consider the fact that using LFS on GitHub, for example, will exhaust your free 1GB traffic quote very quickly the moment you add a second person to your team.

[@FranciscoTChavez]

@@mihaililinov2227 true, but I've seen projects where there's an FBX file that's over 100 MB, which is the size limit for how big a file can be when using GitHub without LFS. On top of that, the files that Unity creates when doing light map bakes for a scene can easily get over 200 MB in size (again, there's a 100 MB file size limit for non-LFS versioned files). I'm not talking about the textures that are generated by the bake, I'm talking that YAML file that puts it all together.

[@neozoid7009]

yes you are right

[@alec_almartson]

I Like this Tool. Also loved the Card Board Feature (inspired in 'Trello', probably ; )

[@ytubeanon]

you should have this voice actress (director) voice all your technical videos, it's obvious she understands what's she saying and the tone makes it easy for longer listening, if anyone has issues with the accent they can always read the close captions

[@TheNormal1986]

Thanks for the tutorial. In my daily work I have problems with metafiles. They are in every commits and I can't understand how they work? Does anyone else have a problem with them?

[@ha123461]

Very detailed. Thank you.

[@fulongfromthegrave]

Good tut!! Thanks a bunch

[@stefanleo6575]

Dude... her voice is amazing

[@ShatabdaRoy115]

[@zgmrvn]

In Unity 2020 there is a dedicated tab for Version Control, the option is not in "Editor" anymore

[@Giannis_Krimitzas]

Thank you mate

[@user-ug6kk5ux5q]

[@mitchiarikov2614]

[@erfanzandi1362]

great video....

[@PonniahK]

thanks for intro to GitKraken..

[@versystudio822]

Funny, I installed Unity v. 2020.1.7f and under 'Project Settings'-"Editor' I don't have 'Version Control' :))) WHY??? It's just missing

[@versystudio822]

@@amelnegra5511 Hi, yes, thank you .. actually found it as well :))

"Fork" is a good git GUI also

[@Sal-bm4mw]

Your ASMR voice making me fall asleep

[@neozoid7009]

but there are fking soo many errors when my project become big ... or may files in them and git only gives 1gb of free upload

[@kanewadel]

Very very clear explanation thank you

[@supertenchoo4271]

I think you should make git bash tutorial this will help us to solve many conflict in git

[@FM_GOBi]

Sounds like an ASMR video. Good job narrating girl!
