HOW METABUDDY HELPS

• Meta file problems are a continual drag when keeping a Unity project in git.

• Mistakes like forgetting to commit meta files or accidentally changing GUIDs cause confusing behaviour that affects the whole team.

• MetaBuddy eliminates that drag by keeping your project in a zen-like state of zero meta defects.

• It does this by catching problems early, helping everyone on your team to commit with confidence and reducing the time wasted chasing down issues.

• MetaBuddy has helped teams keep their projects clean of meta file problems over thousands of commits, saving countless hours of wasted developer effort.
