Linking Unity Project in Github

We will need to associate the Unity project with the Github repository in order to publish files in the repository.

First, go the directory of Unity project folder. In Windows, I use Git Bash shell for this.

user@LAPTOP MINGW64 ~/OneDrive/Desktop/Unity/2.5DProject

Next, you need to initialize git in your project directory:

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/Users/user/OneDrive/Desktop/Unity/2.5DProject/.git

Add GitHub repository link:

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/user/2.5D_Game.git

Pull data from repository:

$ git pull origin main
remote: Enumerating objects: 3, done.
remote: Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (2/2), done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), 1.08 KiB | 100.00 KiB/s, done.
From https://github.com/user/2.5D_Game
* branch main -> FETCH_HEAD
* [new branch] main -> origin/main

Switch branch to main repository:

$ git switch main
Switched to a new branch ‘main’
Branch ‘main’ set up to track remote branch ‘main’ from ‘origin’.

Add the Unity files for commit:

$ git add .

Check status:

$ git status
On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

Finally, you can push changes to the repository:

$ git push origin main

Counting objects: 100% (35/35), done.
Delta compression using up to 12 threads
Compressing objects: 100% (34/34), done.
