How to use GitHub to host Unity repositories

Examples for .getignore, .gitigore and .gitattributes are atached.

Unity

From the main menu under Edit, Project Settings and then Editor set the Version Control Mode to Visible Meta Files and Asset Serialization Mode to Force Text.

.gitignore

Use the following templates from github.com/github/gitignore:

• Unity
• Global/MonoDevelop

If it is not assured, that every project member has its Git installation configured to ignore operating system specific files, you might want to include these:

• Global/Linux
• Global/OSX
• Global/Windows

.gitattributes

Auto detect text files and perform LF normalization: * text=auto

Higher probability of success rates while merging C# files: *.cs text diff=csharp

Git LFS

Use Git Large File Storage and track the following files as a starting point:

• .assets
• .bmp
• .tiff
• .tif
• .tga
• .jpg
• .jpeg
• .png
• .psd
• .tga
• .mp3
• .ogg
• .wav
• .aiff
• .aif
• .mod
• .it
• .s3m
• .xm
• .mp4
• .mov
• .ttf
