Requirements
To use this plugin you will need the Anchorpoint desktop application and an Anchorpoint account.
The free version of Anchorpoint allows you to push and pull files to and from GitHub and use local version control, other features require a subscription.
Pricing: €20 per user per month. Indie developers get a 50% discount.
Version control without lock-in effects
Anchorpoint enables team collaboration using Git and extends it with dedicated tools for your Unity project, including
File locking
Lock prefabs, scenes or any other Unity asset to prevent merge conflicts.
Submit changes directly from Unity
No need to worry about meta files. No need to worry about Git LFS. Anchorpoint takes care of that.
Art asset management
Work on terabyte-sized repositories without slowing down, tag and annotate assets with AI to find them faster.
How it works
Anchorpoint is like a Git client with an additional metadata system attached. This metadata system allows instant file locking (without the limitations of Git LFS locking), tagging and centralized Git configurations. The metadata is managed in our cloud, which never touches your production data. In Unity, a dedicated manager displays all files that have been modified, along with the necessary commit controls. Meta files are handled automatically. Furthermore, the Unity project manager can display a file's status, such as 'modified', 'locked' or 'outdated'.
