Alternative setup

You can initialize project by bash script which is located in releases. Download and run it on your PC.

https://github.com/Saritasa/Unity3DTemplateProject/releases/tag/cookiecutterAnalog

1. Paste the link to the Unity template (the link to this repository is set by default)
2. Write the name of the project
3. Write the description of the project
4. Write the task number

The script looks for a develop branch in the repository and makes a branch from it for initialization. If it does not find develop branch, then it searches for a main or master to create develop. If the script does not see the main or master branch in the project repository, then try updating Git to a newer version. Also you can make sure that you are logged in to Git on your PC.

brew install git-lfs
brew install python
pip install cookiecutter

In case if python is already installed to system:

# the only that you need -- cookiecutter
pip install cookiecutter
