GDC 2018 marked the release of the GitHub for Unity Beta, a package designed to aid Unity game developers by integrating GitHub's version control features within the Unity environment. This package enhances the development process by providing Git support directly in Unity, eliminating the need to use the command line. A key update includes the integration of Git LFS and file locking, which allows developers to manage large asset files more efficiently and prevents accidental overwriting through file locking. The package is compatible with Unity 5.4 and above on both Mac and Windows and supports GitHub authentication, including two-factor authentication. It offers extensive Git management features, such as user configuration, repository operations, and branch management, along with visual indicators for file locking. As an open-source tool, it encourages community contributions through feedback and bug reporting on its GitHub repository.
