Is it possible to have instructions using gitlab.com git-lfs and git-annex?

SRombauts commented 8 years ago

Hi, yes I should add a short tutorial in the readme.

As a quick start, in your UE4 project :

git lfs install
git lfs track *.uasset
git add .gitattributes
git commit .gitattributes Then every uasset files (Blueprint, Materials...) can be added and commited as usual through the Editor.

I will add explicit git lfs support to the plugin to ease this step to init a new repository

How do you approach storing the Unreal Engine deps in lfs?

Referring to the files setup.bat uses.

Oh, I see... sorry but I do not fork the Engine to the point I fork it's dependencies, so I have no idea.

It would be great if you could find out. Having a viable alternative to perforce will be great.

Will create a new issue on importing a complete ue4 directory. The basics work though.
