I followed the project manual on setting up git and project.
I have a remote github repository, I have git installed, I have git desktop installed, I have cloned the remote repository locally, I can push and pull from the repository using git desktop.
I load my project from the locally cloned repository and Defold cannot see that I am using git.
Is there a file or folder or program setting Defold requires I am skipping. Ive spent days reading every post I can about git in the forums and it seems for most people it just works.
As long as the .git folder is in the same folder as the game.project, there shouldn’t be anything specific to do no.
Doesn’t Defold show any changed files for you (e.g. after changing the project title in game.project) (in the bottom left corner):
No it does not display changed files.
C:\Users\jbska>git --version
git version 2.28.0.windows.1
C:\Users\jbska>
Screen shot of local git repository and the popup on Defold:
As long as the .git folder is in the same folder as the game.project
In your last screenshot there is no game.project next to the .git folder (which I believe is a current constraint).
Thank you I have it setup now. Reorganized my directory and Now I understand that it is the .git directory inside of project folder Defold was looking for.
