Get started with Unity Version Control via the Unity Hub
You can add Unity Version Control (UVCS) to your projects through the Unity Hub.
If you don't already have DevOps set up, then you get a free trial of the DevOps services when you enable Version Control through the Hub. You can also set up DevOps through your Unity Cloud Dashboard. For more information, refer to Get started with Unity DevOps.
Note: If you are an invitee to a DevOps project, you only need a Unity ID to start working on the project. Refer to Add a remote project to your Hub to get started.
View your projects in the Unity Hub
The second column on the Projects page of the Unity Hub shows whether each project has UVCS enabled:
- The link icon means that the project uses UVCS. Select the link icon to view your repository in the Unity Cloud Dashboard.
- The broken link icon means that the project doesn't use UVCS.
- The warning icon means there is an issue with your access to UVCS for that project. For example, you don't have permission to access the latest version.
