github meta files deleted and added between mac and windows

[farazk86]

Hi,

I develop my game for android on my main windows machine and then do a build for ios on my mac.

I use github for version control between the two machines, and every time I pull the changes into mac (which is set to an ios project) all the files in the screenshot are removed from the project.

When I then pull changes into the windows machine (android project) all the file are added again. All of them are Dialogue System related meta files.,

Is this normal?

Can this be safely ignored or avoided?

Thanks

Hi,

Your .gitignore file is excluding *.unitypackage files. This means for example that you're pushing up "CommonAssemblyDefinitions.unitypackage.meta" to the repo but not "CommonAssemblyDefinitions.unitypackage".

The solution is to remove "*.unitypackage" from your .gitignore, or remove all *.unitypackage files from your project.
