12:58 To save you from an enraged smashing of several keyboards due to not seeing a 'Git' folder: Go to Windows File Explorer from the taskbar, then

Select View > Show > Hidden items.

Thank you for this great tutorial! There are very few tutorials that explain things in such an explicit way as yours do, I'm so glad I've found your channel :)

[sergeyfilinsky]

Thanks for the great material!

One thing I would like to point - you tried to cover everything from basics like installing git + doing git lfs setup which is more rare and Unreal-specific thing to do, so not everyone will be aware of it (if we speak about devs).
As a result, the video got somewhere in between:
- it's too shallow for someone who never worked with git and person won't be able to do work after watching only this (only do the setup)
- it's too detailed for someone who has decent git experience, since setting up the repo and everything is not something you need to explain to them
I, for example, came just to learn how to set up GIT LFS for Unreal, since I'm not sure which file types I should include and what the workflow will be in general. And while those are pretty vital things to know before you start using them in real projects, I still didn't get all the answers in the end :)

But thanks for your video and the effort you spent on it, this is pretty high quality and what you explain you do really well, just keep up the good work!

There is hardly anyone who offered game audio/sound management in unreal, maybe you can make a video for it!

You r just aweso....i was litterly noob in tNice tutorials...u explained it very simply...thanks i will surely go for next parts of tNice tutorials video.. thanks

Naming your Unreal folder "YT_Git" and leaving Unreal out of the name, then making another copy of that folder with that same illogical name, then copying files from one folder of the same illogical name to another folder of the same illogical name after not explaining how the second folder of that name got on the desktop is perhaps the most confusing way you could have presented this. I thought I was having a stroke. I went and got more water because I thought I was dehydrated. It literally crossed my mind that I was suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning.

How in the hell have 87 million people figured out how to use Git? The entire apparatus is COIK.

[OliverGardens]

Someone else mentioned this, but why do you prefer adding files using the desktop manager vs unreal's built-in source control?

[getrekt]

Source code is super important, great video!

[Troyzhen]

The second way definitely makes more sense.

[Praxss]

There should be official integration of source control and engine just like pycharm or vs code

[bucciarato]

Very helpful video. Btw what theme you are using ? it's look so clean and cool.

[billupsti]

is there any reason you didn't use the source control stuff within UE itself?

[thevision]

Your video is very helpful.. thank you so much

[lAcedUpLiss]

Its very hard to see what's going on because the font is very small. Perhaps if you update this tutorial, you might want to increase text size or zoom in?

[yoo-na]

and my friends are planning to make a ga and i'm making the soft, so tNice tutorials really helped

[lrdgeo]

the biggest legends in the rap industry, biggy. You just need to creative and know your way around the software imo

[teemuleppa]

out of curiosity, what's wrong with unreals built in source control system for git?

[luqigongchang]

PC to an external monitor and I'm watcNice tutorialng tNice tutorials video on one screen and working through exactly what Michael is doing and it is a big

[IamNeighborlee]

What are you doing at 17:58 or so, you went quite fast and voice is a bit muted . I'm fine right up until there, so what is the point of that again pls ? Great tut, ty !

[shaynea]

On windows 11 and cant get "git bash here" (I also did the show more options button and its still not there) is there a work around if not is it necessary to have lfs?
