Updating custom git package

Hi,

I have created my custom package added it to git and added the git url to another project and things are working great.

Now I updated my package, updated the version number in package.json, and then pushed again.

However in the other project there's no update. I have to remove and readd the git url to get the updated package.
Is there a way to make unity detect the update and offer update automatically?

Thank you for advance.

 

I don't think so, it's using a package registry system under the hood.

So you need to use a package server that handles dependencies, versioning, etc...
You can: publish it to NPM (public or paid privately), Verdaccio (own server), and maybe using the package feature of your git host, here for GitHub or Gitlab here

We use Verdaccio locally and Gitlab private repositories for version control.

Thank you very much for the useful information.

 

While looking for an enhanced UPM (2020.X broke private scopes... see here).

I've found this:
https://github.com/mob-sakai/UpmGitExtension

It does exactly what you wanted, I think, by better-integrating git into UPM (with versioning, etc...)

UpmGitExtension seems to work pretty well. Thank you very much!
