You won’t need to alter your way of working after switching from Perforce, especially if you don’t plan to work in separate branches. Changelists allows you to conveniently create meaningful groupings of your files. When you check in your changes, you won’t need to pick through a list of thousands; instead, you can just select the files pertaining to the task at hand.

Changelists helps you stay organized. If you need to go back and make a change, you won’t need to remember all the files you modified – they’ll be grouped under the changelist you created.

When you’re working with large codebases or files, it’s easy to run into productivity issues. The singular nature of Perforce’s development branch and current stream functionality locks teams into relatively inflexible “merge down, copy up” workflows, which can result in duplicate work and slowdowns. There are workarounds, like shelve commits, but these limit your ability to commit at scale – again, slowing your team down.

Unity Version Control’s branching and merging capabilities naturally lead to faster and more streamlined performance. You can structure your workflow for what suits your studio best, whether that’s with task-based branching or even a more traditional approach. If you hit problems, it’s easy to adjust.

Making games means working with enormous files, and you need version control that can withstand that pressure. Unity Version Control servers can easily support hundreds of developers simultaneously without sacrificing performance. Work at the pace you need, and scale easily with version control built specifically for game development.

Easily checkin your work to the cloud and manage team permissions through a cloud dashboard, without the need to maintain an extra server or client.

Instantly set up dedicated cloud servers out of the box to empower your teams to collaborate from anywhere in the world. All you need to do is create an account.

Switching version control systems in the middle of development can be daunting, but Unity Version Control is equipped to make the transition as painless as possible. With P4Sync, Version Control offers a bidirectional synchronization with Perforce to help teams make the leap.

With P4Sync, you can keep a Perforce stream fully synced with a branch on Unity Version Control, import data from Perforce to Version Control, and vice versa. Bear in mind only one Perforce stream can sync with Unity Version Control at any given time – this is a temporary solution to help you switch version control systems without bringing development to a standstill.
