GitHub Limitations for Unity Projects?

[Nina]

Hi Adithya,

It looks like nobody has answered your questions.

@Adithya-Santhosh

Is GitHub suitable for Unity projects with 4 developers, assuming we use .gitignore and manage assets carefully?

Yes, GitHub is used by many game developers for their Unity projects.

@Adithya-Santhosh

Is GitHub + Git LFS sustainable long-term for a Unity game with 3D models, textures, and sounds?

That depends on GitHub. For further information, please check their website.

@Adithya-Santhosh

Would a GitHub alternative like GitLab or Plastic SCM be more beginner-friendly or more scalable?

GitHub is just a hosting service for git. So is GitLab. Plastic SCM is not the same as git. For further information, please refer to Wikipedia.

@Adithya-Santhosh

How do we properly sync things like Project Settings, Packages, or Scene files between team members to avoid conflicts?

That depends on how well you and your team know git, and whether you decided on a workflow. If everybody in your team follows different rules, you might end up in chaos. Chaos in git is difficult to resolve.

@Adithya-Santhosh

Should we only push scripts and lightweight assets to Git and handle heavier assets (models, audio, etc.) via Google Drive?

That could be a solution.
