GitHub Desktop for Unity — Part 4: Branching
This article is a part of the series:
Using GitHub Desktop for Unity collaboration
In the 4th part of this series, we dive into one of Git’s most powerful features—branching.
When working on projects, it’s common to accidentally overwrite someone else’s work or struggle with testing new ideas without affecting the main project. Branches act as a safe workspace, letting you build new features without worrying about breaking your existing game build.
In this article, we’ll explore what branches are, how to create and manage them, and how you can use them for your own development workflow.

12 May 2024: The article has been updated with some new content. The updated sections are labelled in boxes like these below.
While working on the next part of the Vampire Survivors series, one of our Patrons reported a bug with our weapon upgrade UI system in this forum topic.

These upgrade options, however, are unselectable, because the function that is fired when they are clicked on will fail, as the PlayerInventory will fail to add the item.
What began as (what I thought was) an easy bug fix became an entire part in the series, because the bug fix turned out to require a bigger overhaul on our scripts than I expected.
Hence, we have this part of the tutorial series.
