it does sound super useful, especially when working on the same level and it doesnt overwrite my work

Is anchoirpoint useful if one doesn't want to use github to avoid fees and just locally ?

[maxgrey]

When I try to create a project Anchorpoint always returns the error "Could not create project". It just creates an empty repository without any of the project files.

why would i use this when for team (even 2 people) I need to pay? I can use github and github desktop for free.

i need help, i get this error : SourceControl: Error: fatal: Invalid path '/Memory': No such file or directory

My biggest issue with all these tutorials, is that none show how to get the cloned repo to a working unreal build. Due to the gitignore rules, a lot of files are left out of being uploaded to github. How would one get those files on a new pc, and get the files that are missing due to the gitignore?

Why the hell did you make git version control now paid... what
