Setting Up Git with GameMaker
In this video, we dive in and download & install Git, GitHub Desktop, set up our GitHub account, and create our local and remote repositories for our project. Be sure to watch the previous tutorials if you would like a more in depth discussion on source control and why I chose these over the integrated GameMaker source control tools.
