Source Control offline only options

zortan199 · April 15, 2023, 7:47am

hay all, looking to setup Source Control though I want to run everything on my local system only, any options that you can recommend that could work for local systems only instead of online with github

Yeah, I do this all the time. Just create a local repository.

If you have git installed, go to the project folder and type the following in a command prompt

Create a ‘master’ branch

git init -b master

Add everything to that branch

git add .

Commit it into the branch

git commit -m "Initial Commit"

NOTE I’d recommend adding a .gitignore file before adding everything to the branch

Now you have a local repository that you can work with like any other cloned repository

My pleasure. Here is the .gitignore I use for all my repositories. It’s set up for Unity projects

github.com

bixarrio/GDTV-2DCar/blob/master/.gitignore

# This .gitignore file should be placed at the root of your Unity project directory
#
# Get latest from https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Unity.gitignore

/**/[Ll]ibrary/
/**/[Tt]emp/
/**/[Oo]bj/
/**/[Bb]uild/
/**/[Bb]uilds/
/**/[Ll]ogs/
/**/[Mm]emoryCaptures/

# Asset meta data should only be ignored when the corresponding asset is also ignored
!/[Aa]ssets/**/*.meta

# Uncomment this line if you wish to ignore the asset store tools plugin
# /[Aa]ssets/AssetStoreTools*

# Autogenerated Jetbrains Rider plugin
