[git] How to use Git for Unity3D source control?

In Unity 4.3 you also had to enable External option from preferences, but since Unity 4.5 they dropped option for that, so full setup process looks like:

  1. Switch to Visible Meta Files in Editor ? Project Settings ? Editor ? Version Control Mode
  2. Switch to Force Text in Editor ? Project Settings ? Editor ? Asset Serialization Mode
  3. Save scene and project from File menu

Also our team is using a bit more extended .gitignore file:

# =============== #
# Unity generated #
# =============== #
Temp/
Library/

# ===================================== #
# Visual Studio / MonoDevelop generated #
# ===================================== #
ExportedObj/
obj/
*.svd
*.userprefs
/*.csproj
*.pidb
*.suo
/*.sln
*.user
*.unityproj
*.booproj

# ============ #
# OS generated #
# ============ #
.DS_Store
.DS_Store?
._*
.Spotlight-V100
.Trashes
ehthumbs.db
Thumbs.db

Note that the only folders you need to keep under source control are Assets and ProjectSettings.

More information about keeping Unity Project under source control you can find in this post.
