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
