Since Unity 4 3 you also have to enable External option from preferences  so full setup process looks like    Enable External option in Unity   Preferences   Packages   Repository Switch to Hidden Meta Files in Editor   Project Settings   Editor   Version Control Mode Switch to Force Text in Editor   Project Settings   Editor   Asset Serialization Mode Save scene and project from File menu   Note that the only folders you need to keep under source control are Assets and ProjectSettigns   More information about keeping Unity Project under source control you can find in this post

On the Unity Editor open your project and    Enable External option in Unity   Preferences   Packages   Repository  only if Unity ver  lt  4 5  Switch to Visible Meta Files in Edit   Project Settings   Editor   Version Control Mode Switch to Force Text in Edit   Project Settings   Editor   Asset Serialization Mode Save Scene and Project from File menu  Quit Unity and then you can delete the Library and Temp directory in the project directory  You can delete everything but keep the Assets and ProjectSettings directory    If you already created your empty git repo on-line  eg  github com  now it s time to upload your code  Open a command prompt and follow the next steps   cd to your unity project folder  git init  git add    git commit -m  First commit   git remote add origin git github com username project git  git push -u origin master   You should now open your Unity project while holding down the Option or the Left Alt key  This will force Unity to recreate the Library directory  this step might not be necessary since I ve seen Unity recreating the Library directory even if you don t hold down any key    Finally have git ignore the Library and Temp directories so that they won   t be pushed to the server  Add them to the  gitignore file and push the ignore to the server  Remember that you ll only commit the Assets and ProjectSettings directories   And here s my own  gitignore recipe for my Unity projects                         Unity generated                       Temp  Obj  UnityGenerated  Library  Assets AssetStoreTools                                               Visual Studio   MonoDevelop generated                                             ExportedObj    svd   userprefs   csproj   pidb   suo   sln   user   unityproj   booproj                     OS generated                     DS Store  DS Store       Spotlight-V100  Trashes Icon  ehthumbs db Thumbs db
