Easy gitignore & LFS Setup

Documentation | Discord Community

Easy gitignore & LFS Setup is a robust editor extension designed to standardize and secure Unity project repositories. It replaces manual configuration with a verified, automated workflow, ensuring your team never commits build artifacts, local caches, or untracked binary files.

✅ Core Benefits

• Standardized Configuration: Instantly generates industry-standard .gitignore rules tailored for Unity, preventing repository bloat from Library, Temp, and IDE-generated files (Rider, VS, VS Code).
• Automated LFS Management: Configures .gitattributes to correctly track binary assets (Textures, Models, Audio) via Git LFS, preventing performance bottlenecks in large projects.
• Non-Destructive Workflow: Features a "Safe Sync" system that intelligently appends missing rules while preserving your custom manual entries.
• Repository Rescue Tools: Includes a specialized "Clean Cache" utility to forcefully untrack accidentally committed local folders (Library/, Logs/) without requiring complex CLI commands.

🔧 Technical Features

• Modular Rule Toggling: Granular control over specific package rules (Addressables, Visual Scripting, Test Runner) and OS-specific files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db).
• Integrated LFS Validation: Automatically validates the local environment to ensure Git LFS is installed and active before configuration.
• Editor Native Management: Manage all Git configurations directly within Unity. Includes a context menu integration (Assets > Add to .gitignore) for instant folder exclusion.
• Cross Platform Support: Fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.

For Professional Workflows Whether setting up a fresh repository or fixing an existing one, this tool eliminates human error from the configuration process. Stop wasting time on setup and focus on development.
