Can I use Window at home, Mac at Office to develope the same unity project?

Unity Engine

Sorry, I am a newbie just starting on Game Dev and Unity,
I have PCs at home, and I am thinking of buying a mac mini to place at office so that I can work on the project when I’m idle or at lunch or after office hour, But I really doubt if this can be done…using Unity on different system to work on the same project??

Thanks for your help, buddies

Reason why I want a mac mini on office is that I can also use it to develope ios which I can’t using PCs.

Using GIT or something it’s possible.

thanks Perry, but would that be difficult or making the game buggy?
if so… I wonder if it’s better I just install window on the mac mini?

Use a version control system. I’ve worked on teams where some users work on MAC and some on PC. With a decent version control it doesn’t seem to be an issue.

I have one project that I work on with both my mac mini and pc using GIT. I have not had any issues. It is good to learn a version control system anyway. Just make sure that you set up GIT properly for Unity; there are some files that you will want to put in .gitignore. From what I’ve read, you end up running into problems if you try to access the same project from something like Dropbox so you will want to use a version control system.
