Specific operations

1. Configure .gitignore file

Open the root directory of the unity project , it will look like this after opening

Create a file and name it .gitignore (as shown in the picture)

The purpose of this is to tell git which part of the content to ignore, because the unity project has many repeatable things in the project that do not need to be uploaded.

**Open .gitignore and edit, **The source code is as follows:

# This .gitignore file should be placed at the root of your Unity project directory
#
# Get latest from https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Unity.gitignore
#
/[Ll]ibrary/
/[Tt]emp/
/[Oo]bj/
/[Bb]uild/
/[Bb]uilds/
/[Ll]ogs/
/[Mm]emoryCaptures/

# Asset meta data should only be ignored when the corresponding asset is also ignored
!/[Aa]ssets/**/*.meta

# Uncomment this line if you wish to ignore the asset store tools plugin
# /[Aa]ssets/AssetStoreTools*

# Autogenerated Jetbrains Rider plugin

2.Configure.gitattributes

Create a new file in the same way and name it .gitattributes

The purpose of this is to tell git lfs what to track

The source code is as follows:

3. Use git

By default, you have created a warehouse on github and can use git normally.

Open git bash in the root directory

Perform the following actions in order:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"

Then open your github repository and find something similar to the following

Just follow the input and refresh the github repository after finishing.
