We are working on a project in Unity.
I quickly realized setting up Git, with ignore and LTS is just too much.
I told him for now, just make sure to zip up the project and upload to Dropbox once a week or so.
And Unity themselves tried to add collaborate, to the editor but didn't work right.
Why ?
Everything you have to imagine / visualize is reflected via a UI.
That said, I do track my unity projects in git. It's heavy but works ok these days. What's too much about it for you?
Use python or JS and avoid game programming. Game programming is not for the novice. There is no need to push version control on a beginner, this is just extra stuff which adds confusion.
Start with functions, to show how to build reusable pieces with good abstractions, then scale up
Your best bet will be to help them find a good course and act as the "TA"
He more wants to just learn Unity.
But still, why does Unity VC suck so much. Eventually someone has to code with this thing.
Github provides a Unity gitignore template, maybe it's best to start here? https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Unity.gitignor...
