The Power of Git in Unreal Engine: a Step-by-Step Guide | UE5

Unreal Engine projects are huge and can get messed up quite easily, so make sure to use Git and back it up to GitHub. Whether you are a solo dev or working with a team, these tools are a must for any software project.

About me:
I've been learning game development for a few years now, I have a background in software engineering, and I also have a background in education, so being able to combine my love of gaming, software engineering and education is the best way to spend my time.

I am currently working on a few unreal engine games as a hobby, but I am also trying to build a community, thus I am creating YouTube tutorials to find others who are interested in game development and design.
