Modern Unity Template

A starting point for Unity projects under Git, set up for an art team coming from Perforce.

Includes:

• .gitattributes — Git LFS for all binary asset types, UnityYAMLMerge smart-merge for serialized YAML, and lockable rules so un-mergeable assets (scenes, prefabs, models, textures, audio…) can be locked. This is the team's locking policy, committed once so everyone shares it.
• .gitignore — the usual Unity ignores.

File locking with Git Waypoint

This template is ready for Perforce-style file locking with Git Waypoint.

1. In Unity: Window ▸ Package Manager ▸ + ▸ Add package from git URL https://github.com/wayexperience/git-waypoint.git#upm
2. Project Settings ▸ Editor: Asset Serialization = Force Text, Version Control = Visible Meta Files.
3. Open Window ▸ Git Waypoint ▸ Settings, set your Git name/email, and turn on Automatic file locking.

That's it — what's lockable is decided by the lockable rules in .gitattributes (above), so the whole team locks the same files. Git Waypoint locks them automatically as you work and releases them when you push.
