What is Unreal Game Sync?

Unreal Game Sync is a tool commonly used with Perforce to sync Unreal projects and precompiled binaries. Anchorpoint enables a similar workflow for Git-based teams.

Why should I distribute binaries among my team?

Compiling Unreal projects requires developer tools and can take a long time. Sharing precompiled binaries allows artists to work without building locally.

Why can't I store binaries directly in Git?

Large generated binaries bloat Git repositories and slow down common operations like branching and cloning.

How do I connect a build pipeline to Anchorpoint?

Compile the project in your CI pipeline, upload the binaries to external storage, and associate them with a Git commit so Anchorpoint can link code and binaries.

Does this work with Unreal projects using the Epic Games Launcher?

Yes. In that case you usually sync only the game binaries, since the editor is already installed via the launcher.

Unreal Game Sync for Git

How it works

Uses external storage solutions for your binaries to keep your repository clean.

Add an external file storage solution, such as AWS S3, Backblaze B2, Google Drive or a NAS for smaller teams. This is where your compiled binaries will be stored.

Compile the binaries locally or via your CI/CD system, then submit them to the storage solution. Attach a tag to your commit.

Let artists pull a commit and the binaries will be automatically synced to their project

Anchorpoint makes it easy for our team of designers and developers to collaborate with our Git workflow. It works seamlessly with GitLab and allows us to centralize all our project working files.
