GitHub for Unity, initially announced at the Games Developer Conference and open-sourced at Unite Europe, has released version 0.16-alpha, offering support for Unity 2017 and new features like publishing repositories directly from Unity and deleting old branches without using the command line. This release, made possible by contributors' efforts, also enhances the authentication workflow, allowing the use of the Enter/Return keys for confirmation during the process. Users are encouraged to download the latest release, view the complete release notes, and contribute through feature requests, bug reports, or pull requests as the project progresses toward version 1.0, under the guidance of Lee Reilly, a Senior Program Manager at GitHub.
