Hmm, that's weird. Did you try restarting/reloading Github Desktop?

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Yes I did, it did nothing sadly

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:22 PM

#

I have the exact same set-up for my Github repos and it works just fine.

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:24 PM

#

Yeah that's weird, I have no idea why

#

Maybe if I delete the ignored folder it will work ?

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

the gitignore?

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

No I mean if I delete for exemple Library, Logs from my Unity's project

#

maybe github desktop will detected it, I don't know

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:32 PM

#

It should already have.

#

Maybe your Untity project lies in another file? OR does "World Design" take you directly to the unity project, like here you see the folders Assets, etc.?

#

the red arrow is where my .git is

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

That's a lto of World Designs xD

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

Yeah lol I messed up a bit I know

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

It is your repo folder?

#

Where you have your .gitignore, and prj?

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

with the red arrow, yes

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

Okay

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

Now go into World Design

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

That's weird...

#

I'm sorry that I am of no help but it should be working. The only other thing I can think of is that the .gitignore changes haven't been saved, or that the Github desktop hasn't been updated.

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

It's ok no problem, that's already kind of you trying to help me !

#

I also commit the new .gitignore

#

but it doesn't helped

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:42 PM

#

Maybe this can help?

I'm running on the last github desktop version

#

I don't know how to run a command with github desktop

#

Nevermind I found out

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

What was it?

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

I'm still having the issue, I just found out about how to open a terminal to run a command with github desktop

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

oh

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

It sadly didn't worked

#

I think I'll just create another repo + project

solar saffron Apr 28, 2023, 2:52 PM

#

Try that

#

And follow the tutorial step by step

floral linden Apr 28, 2023, 3:04 PM

#

Well with another repo it works

#

I did exactly the same things haha it's so weird

You need to put the .gitignore in the same folder of the Unity project (In the first screenshot, it's currently in the parent folder of the project)
You need to close and reopen Github Desktop for the change to take effect

#

The easiest way to get it working every time is to create the Github project, clone it, then move everything from your project into the cloned repo folder

That's the worse approcah. Putting a .gitignore directly in the Unity project folder is worse than putting it outside, and it doesn't make sense not to. Brackeys himself suggested having the .gitignore outside and changing it's code.

No. That's not true at all

#

The problem is the files are already staged

#

Unstage them @floral linden

The default .gitignore file has the folders at the same level.
Does it still work without modification when you put it in the parent folder?

#

Also, why is it bad to put it in the project folder? It makes no difference at all?
