# 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.
