If you’re spending more than 15 minutes a week resolving merge conflicts, try UVCS. Your future self will thank you.
Every Unity developer knows the dread of a scene merge conflict. Git sees your carefully arranged GameObjects as a wall of YAML text – and it will get confused.
Plus, the free tier (3 users, 5 GB) is generous enough for most small teams or solo devs with cloud backups.
✅ – Handles binary files (scenes, prefabs, assets) natively. ✅ Fast branching & merging – Visual graphs and semantic merge for Unity scenes. ✅ Gluon for artists – Non-technical team members get a simplified UI. ✅ Seamless Unity Editor integration – No alt-tabbing to a terminal. ✅ Free for small teams – Up to 3 users & 5 GB storage at no cost.
If you’re still relying on .zip backups or basic Git for your Unity projects, you’re making life harder than it needs to be.
