- Primary URL: Best practices for project organisation and version control
Key takeaways
- Unity explicitly distinguishes source control from broader version control in the context of asset-heavy game projects.
- The guide treats Unity Version Control, Git, and Perforce as the three most relevant options for Unity teams.
- It emphasises that project organisation, merge-conflict avoidance, and team workflow conventions matter as much as tool choice.
- Unity highlights smart locks and Unity-specific integration as part of the UVCS value proposition.
Notable claims
- Version control is framed as a collaboration and risk-management system, not just a programmer tool.
- For Unity projects, binary-heavy assets make tool choice and workflow discipline materially more important.
- The guide leans toward Unity-specific workflow support rather than pretending one VCS is universally best for every team.

Open questions raised
- How much should the vault recommend UVCS to students compared with Git, given industry-transfer value versus Unity-specific convenience?
- Should the vault split project organisation advice from version-control system comparison into separate pages later?
