You’re working on a project. How exciting! What you want is a Diversion repository. Let’s get you set up:

Are you using Unreal?

You can do this with our Unreal Engine plugin! Check it out here.

1

Create a new repository

In the desktop app, click on the New Repository button on the top right.

2

Choose a folder for the repo

You can create a new folder or use an existing one. If you have a game-engine project, you probably want to choose its root folder. For this example I’ll create a new folder, but the other steps work the same either way. I’ll select Create New Folderand call it CreatingNewRepo.

3

Click Create

4

Syncing

A new repo is created in the folder you specified! The icon on the top left says it’s syncing - that is, it’s uploading the folder’s content to our cloud. In this example it’s an empty folder so it should only take a moment. If you create a new repo for an existing project, it might take a bit longer.

Good to go!

When the icon looks like this, you’re all set!

And that’s it! You have a new repository. Anything you do in the directory will be tracked by Diversion.
