Choosing the right system depends on your team size and the technical nature of your project.

Unity assets like textures, models, audio, and scenes quickly exceed Git’s normal limit.

❌ Committing without .meta files → broken prefab links ❌ Using Git without LFS → massive repo size ❌ Binary serialization → unreadable diffs ❌ Editing the same scene as a teammate → merge conflict hell ❌ Ignoring ProjectSettings/ → input/Audio mismatches across team

| Step | Action | |------|--------| | 1 | git pull + update scene/asset locks | | 2 | Make small, focused changes | | 3 | Test in Unity (no compile errors) | | 4 | git add + meaningful commit message | | 5 | git pull --rebase then git push | | 6 | Resolve conflicts immediately (use UnityYamlMerge) |

Unity projects aren’t just code. They contain scenes, Prefabs, animations, Materials, and metadata. Without proper version control, you risk:

Create a file named .gitignore in your project's root folder (the folder containing Assets , ProjectSettings , etc.). Paste this standard Unity template:

# Asset store tools (optional) /[Aa]ssets/AssetStoreTools*

Unity projects are unique because they contain massive binary assets (art, audio) alongside text-based scripts. Without specific settings, version control systems will break your project.
