  93. this is a bit oooh. github extension for unity early preview. wouldn't it be nice if it was good? unity.github.com/
  94. …in reply to @chrisoshea
    @chrisoshea pretty sure it's not. it's from github, not sure of unity's involvement
  95. …in reply to @haikus_by_KN
    @haikus_by_KN i wish i was - couldn't find someone to pay for me, and couldn't justify it myself ...
  96. …in reply to @chrisoshea
    @chrisoshea oh! uh... i guess so? obv shaped onto git workflow, or even the github app's take on the git workflow
  97. …in reply to @v21
    hah - the github app is very branching-focused (unsurprisingly), and branching is Bad in Unity. I wonder how they're squaring that circle?
  98. …in reply to @pozorvlak
    @pozorvlak so, code is fine, same as code everywhere. but the big blobs of scene description & object setup, in long machine-written YAML?
  99. …in reply to @v21
    @pozorvlak here is a screenshot of a file you do not want to manually fix merge conflicts within
  100. …in reply to @paulnakata
    @paulnakata @pozorvlak i mean, these are even really binaries... but almost all coding i do also needs scene changes, so *shrug*
  101. …in reply to @pozorvlak
    @pozorvlak they have gotten good about modifying it as little as possible, making it more human-readable, etc etc
  102. …in reply to @v21
    @pozorvlak but still: you do not want to do feature branches. and you probably want to have some kind of manual locking on scene files.
  103. …in reply to @v21
    @pozorvlak (which is just telling people they're good to mess with stuff, in the size of team i'm in)
  104. …in reply to @paulnakata
    @paulnakata @pozorvlak yeah, i get you, and it makes sense - but that doesn't make it good to develop on feature branches, still?
  105. …in reply to @v21
    @paulnakata @pozorvlak like, the locking is great for multiple people working on one branch, not for the multiple branches workflow
  106. …in reply to @v21
    @paulnakata @pozorvlak (where those branches want to modify the same big-blob files)
  107. …in reply to @v21
    @paulnakata @pozorvlak maybe it'd be worth restructuring new projects to have all their config in ScriptableObjects, not scenes, tho..?
  108. …in reply to @joonturbo
    @joonturbo yeah - would be curious to poke around other people's big Unity games' project structures, bet there's lotsa variety.
  109. …in reply to @paulnakata
    @paulnakata so, the issue is : branch1 makes necessary edits to main.unity, so does branch2. unless we get lucky and those edits merge, :<
