Version Control

Unreal supports Perforce (Unreal perforce docs), Subversion (Unreal svn docs) and PlasticSCM to be used as version control system.

Guidelines for version control with Unreal

• • Only checkout assets you are working on so you do not block others.

  • Put working copy of projects in the root drives to avoid problems with windows path lengths.

  • Split up assets to make it possible for people to work on different parts of something.

    • Behavioir trees

    • Levels - Ex logic, lighting, audio, environment.

    • Materials

    • Blueprint function library

    • Gameplay ability system

    • Subanimations

    • Animation linking

    • ActorComponents

What folders and files should be put into the VCS

If you have third-party libraries in /Binaries also include them but not the binaries built from your project.

/build /config /content /source .uproject

What folders and files should be ignored by the VCS

/Intermediate /Saved

What needs to be in the version control systems

Your .uproject file and the /build, /config, /content, /source directories. If you have third-party libraries in /Binaries also include them but not the binaries built from your project.
