GIT seems to be losing some scene data

Questions & Answers

This seems to happen more or less randomly, maybe with only new UI stuff. I had an UI solution that had 5 panels, each panel had a couple of buttons and an image (Sprite Renderer). When I pushed the whole thing (With the gitignore files advertized ~everywhere the default ones) and pulled a fresh copy, the image elements were still there, but the sprites did not populate them.

Where is this data stored or is this a stupid user error?

  • activate source control (with meta files for instance) inside Unity.
  • force the serialization to use text files.
  • Be sure to do “File/Save project” before commit to Git or any source control. It will force assets to be written on the disk.
  • Make sure all files in Assets folder are saved (including sub folders).
  • Make sure all files from project settings are saved too.

If your project meets these requirements, there is no way Git or any source control will “forget” things to serialize.
