Smart Locks: For confident branching
Whether you’re branching or not, Smart Locks enforces a single line of development by “traveling” across branches until it reaches the destination branch where the change is checked or merged back in. By traveling and automatically checking to confirm that you’ are working from the latest version before allowing you to lock a file, Smart Locks greatly minimizes the risk of merge conflicts.
CREATE AND LINK A VERSION CONTROL REPO WHEN YOU CREATE A PROJECT IN THE HUB.
Easier VCS management in the Hub
Enabling and managing Version Control directly within the Unity Hub is now easier than ever. Just by selecting a checkbox, you can create and link a Version Control repository to a new project. See the project to repository connection status, and link and unlink repositories to existing projects.
MANAGE ON-PREM SEATS AND REPOSITORIES DIRECTLY FROM YOUR CLOUD DASHBOARD.
Your code, on your servers
Every team works differently. That’s why Unity Version Control gives you the flexibility to choose where your code lives. Host in the cloud for convenience, or deploy on your own servers for full control over your environment and data.
Key benefits
Optimized workflows for artists and programmers
Separate workflows, one repo. Developers can code in a centralized or distributed environment with a full branching and merging solution, while artists can create using file-based workflows and an intuitive UI.
Superior speed working with large files and binaries
Built to remain performant and responsive with big files and huge repos, Unity Version Control effortlessly handles the unique complexities of game development.
Operate across tools
Unity Version Control works with any engine, including Unreal, and Unity creators can benefit from its deep integration with the Editor. Unity Version Control also integrates with IDEs, issue tracking, collaboration, and DevOps tools like JIRA, Rider, TeamCity, Jenkins, and more.
Realize value instantly
Instantly set up dedicated cloud servers out of the box to empower your teams to collaborate from anywhere in the world – even when you’re working with the large binary files common in game development.
Work without worry
Code safely with branching and merging, and make changes confidently with locking. Unity Version Control is the only VCS with both.
Deploy anywhere
Work in the cloud for speed and convenience, or host the server on-premises for ultimate control over your data, security and infrastructure. The choice is yours.
““[Unity Version Control] can handle large files and repositories. The visual branch manager is excellent; our graphic designers can use it with ease. It’s easy to give an external person limited access to certain projects.” ”
