New to Source Control?

If you have never used Source Control before, it can be a little unfriendly to get started with any versioning system. Source Control works by storing an entire collection of all your assets - meshes, textures, materials, scripts, and everything else - in a database on some kind of server. That server might be your home computer, the same one that you use to run Unity. It might be a different computer in your local network. It might be a remote machine colocated in a different part of the world. It could even be a virtual machine. There are a lot of options, but the location of the server doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that you can access it somehow over your network, and that it stores your game data.

In a way, the Asset Server functions as a backup of your Project Folder. You do not directly manipulate the contents of the Asset Server while you are developing. You make changes to your Project locally, then when you are done, you Commit Changes to the Project on the Server. This makes your local Project and the Asset Server Project identical.

Now, when your fellow developers make a change, the Asset Server is identical to their Project, but not yours. To synchronize your local Project, you request to Update from Server. Now, whatever changes your team members have made will be downloaded from the server to your local Project.

This is the basic workflow for using the Asset Server. In addition to this basic functionality, the Asset Server allows for rollback to previous versions of assets, detailed file comparison, merging two different scripts, resolving conflicts, and recovering deleted assets.

Setting up the Asset Server

The Asset Server requires a one time server setup and a client configuration for each user. You can read about how to do that in the Asset Server Setup page.

The rest of this guide explains how to deploy, administrate, and regularly use the Asset Server.
