    Hello fellow developers,

    I wanted to make a game with friend and use git as our version control system. We are getting a ton of changes from unity auto generated file. I couldn't find a .gitignore specificity for unity tiny. I tried to just ignore all meta files but my friend got alot of errors saying unity couldn't generate meta file.

    Does anyone know how to use git in untiy tiny?

    I believe you should always submit the meta files since they contain important data about the files.

    This is what my ignore file looks like:
    Code (JavaScript):
    1. .DS_Store
    2.  
    3. Library/
    4. Temp/
    5. obj/
    6.  
    7. .idea/
    8. .vs/
    9. .vscode/
    10.  
    11. Tiny/
    12. TinyCache/
    13. TinyCache.meta
    14. TinyExport/
    15.  
    16. *.csproj
    17. *.opensdf
    18. *.sdf
    19. *.sln
    20. *.user
    21. *.log
    22. tsconfig.json

    Hi there,

    There's also an alternate way to set this up. Basically, what we have usually done with our test projects is to create a repository from a subfolder of Assets. This way you should be able to do without the .gitignore file, as very few unnecessary files are stored in the project folder.

    For example, suppose you start a new Tiny project and name it TestProject. It is saved to a new folder under Assets. You can then make a repo out of Assets/TestProject and things should work quite well.

    Cheers!

    Thanks for the gitignore. In the meantime I wrote this one: 

    
*.ts.meta
    
Logs
    
Temp
    
Library
    
.vscode
    
TinyExport
    
Tiny
    
tsconfig.json


    this is also a good option, Ill look into it!

    You should also checkout the GitHub Unity extension which includes a gitignore and works nicely with time.
