GitHub and Unity

I was reading through a lot of forums and I noticed several trends of the person forgetting to backup their project, and that caused a disaster for them since they did not back it up. I also noticed many people recommended to back up the project with GitHub or other Git repositories. I have a project that I am working on and i really don’t want anything bad to happen, so I installed GitHub onto my Mac, and committed by project already. However, I read in most places that before committing I must do all of this stuff to the GitHub with your meta files and ignoregit files. And, I didn’t do any of that stuff. So, now I am worried that I might have messed up my project, but I ran and everything seemed to work fine. However, I am just worried and if someone can put me in the right direction with this that would be great. My metafiles are hidden and I already did force text but that was after I committed.

P.S. if you can’t tell I am new to GitHub…

Thanks for the help,

As long as the (hidden) .meta files are actually being committed to your repository, you should be OK.

I would recommend making them visible, though, so you can be sure you don’t overlook them.
