What should I make sure is included in source control?

Hi, I am using Git as source control for my project and I was wondering what you guys suggest for putting in the .gitignore file and what definitely should not be excluded.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

So far I have played it safe and added only:

Assets/TK2DROOT/tk2d_demo/*

Thanks!

Make sure meta files are turned on. Your project won't work properly otherwise.

This doc lists the folders which should be version controlled. Assets and ProjectSettings.
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Manual/ExternalVersionControlSystemSupport.html

Once again, I have to stress the importance of enabling meta files.
I personally find it much nicer to use text serialization too, but that is entirely optional.

Thanks for the link. I was also wondering, when you import the assets from the store, do you need to import all? Is the demo folder required?

For my gitignore, I ended up with:

Code: [Select]

obj/
Temp/
*.svd
*.suo
*.user
*.pidb
*.userprefs
*.unityproj
.DS_Store
Library/*
!Library/*.asset
Temp
*.pidb
build
Assets/TK2DROOT/tk2d_demo/*

The demo folder is up to you. Do you need it?
2D Toolkit doesn't need the tk2d_demo folder to work.
