In the project settings, version control is its own tab now, separate from the Editor tab. Hope this helps anyone watching after today!

I love how almost 4 years later this video is still helpful.

Start watching at 4:35 if you're already know what is git and just want to know about Unity specific settings.

Thank you so much. I was a part of a game design club at my college and we had so many problems because our repo/ version control had not been set up properly from the start. Now that i'm starting my own side project, i'm really glad to have tutorials like yours that outline the process so well. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.

It's 2021 and Brackeys is still saving lives..

[antoinemaes]

Even 5 years later this is still the best tutorial about the topic I could find... and it was exactly what I needed ! Thanks !

[reversible]

This is a video i have been wanting for long!!! Thanks Brackeys.

[kevinsens]

It's still funny how I quickly come back to this video for every new project. Congrats with 1+ million subs, you deserve it!

[PixelDough]

Never used github, always thought learning the commands would be too confusing... This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen in my life! THANK YOU!

[anshuvennamenani]

watched it after 6 whole year and it still does it job, crazy to think, deserves a subscriber.

[KhrisKruel]

Thank you so much for this. Every github tutorial I've tried has always assumed you knew some high level vernacular of coding.

[renatodex]

Just a correction:
At 5:49, when he says "a lot of these files are actually Metafiles", what he meant is that folders like Library/, Logs/ and UserSettings/ are recreated for every person using Unity, are based on local configuration and therefore are not required include in your versioning system.

You can also create the repo from right inside Github Desktop

Years later, i just started using unity again, and it's nice to see you again :)

GitHub has mystified me for many moons. Thank you for that brief and straight forward explanation

[todorus]

A .gitignore doesn't have to be in the project root, it can be anywhere in the repo, and you can have multiple. Just put the .gitignore for the Unity project in the project folder

[jeniferirwin]

4:21 I knew that Brackeys's 'projects' folder probably had a lot of stuff in it, but I still wasn't prepared for that massive list!

[Yukiloop]

Thank you. This video was way more helpful than my teacher. The teacher knew what he was doing but he didn't explain it very well.

[loosedwhale]

This is a old video still works, thank you so much, the gitignore edit changed the amount of files from 25k!!! to 49! thank you so much for this

Everytime I type some question in about Unity or Programming, Brackeys got my back. I did not expect to find a video about using GitHub with Unity, but here it is. Thanks man!
