The essential version control utility. Create perfect .gitignore and .gitattributes (LFS) files in one click, rescue bloated repositories and manage rules directly in the Editor.Documentation | Discord CommunityEasy gitignore & LFS Setup is a robust editor extension designed to standardize and secure Unity project repositories. It replaces manual configuration with a verified, automated workflow, ensuring your team never commits build artifacts, local caches, or untracked binary files.✅ Core BenefitsStandardized Configuration: Instantly generates industry-standard .gitignore rules tailored for Unity, preventing repository bloat from Library, Temp, and IDE-generated files (Rider, VS, VS Code).Automated LFS Management: Configures .gitattributes to correctly track binary assets (Textures, Models, Audio) via Git LFS, preventing performance bottlenecks in large projects.Non-Destructive Workflow: Features a "Safe Sync" system that intelligently appends missing rules while preserving your custom manual entries.Repository Rescue Tools: Includes a specialized "Clean Cache" utility to forcefully untrack accidentally committed local folders (Library/, Logs/) without requiring complex CLI commands.🔧 Technical FeaturesModular Rule Toggling: Granular control over specific package rules (Addressables, Visual Scripting, Test Runner) and OS-specific files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db).Integrated LFS Validation: Automatically validates the local environment to ensure Git LFS is installed and active before configuration.Editor Native Management: Manage all Git configurations directly within Unity. Includes a context menu integration (Assets > Add to .gitignore) for instant folder exclusion.Cross Platform Support: Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.For Professional Workflows Whether setting up a fresh repository or fixing an existing one, this tool eliminates human error from the configuration process. Stop wasting time on setup and focus on development.CompatibilityUnity Version: 2020.3 LTS and newer (tested on 2022.3 & 6000.0).Render Pipelines: Works with Built-in, URP, and HDRP (Editor tool only).OS: Windows, macOS, Linux.RequirementsGit: Must be installed on the machine to use the "Clean Cache" and "Status Check" features.Git LFS: Required for .gitattributes to function correctly.Tool FeaturesNamespaced: All scripts are wrapped in EasyGitSetup namespace to prevent conflicts.No DLLs: Full C# source code included.Non Intrusive: Does not include executables; calls your local system's Git installation safely via System.Diagnostics.Process.PermissionsThis asset interacts with your local git installation to perform status checks and cache cleaning commands.
