Note: To start from an existing version control repository, see Getting started with an existing version control repository.
You can walk through a straightforward onboarding wizard when creating a repository for your Unity project. This new wizard will help you:

-
Open your Unity project.

To access the version control window in the Unity Editor, click Window > version control:
