Question:
Can I use a .gitignore file with Unity Version Control (UVCS)?
Answer:
No, ‘.gitignore’ format is not compatible with UVCS, but we have something similar called ‘ignore.conf’. A file that can achieve the same thing.
The Unity Version Control plugin within the Unity Editor automatically creates an ignore.conf file for you if you create the repository within the Editor, so directories like Library and Temp are not added to the UVCS repository. Initially, there’s nothing you need to do, but if you are curious and want to learn more about this configuration file, please see here.
