In this video we're going to configure and enable Unity’s built-in Smart Merge (UnityYAMLMerge), add the .gitattributes lines that make scene and prefab merges reliable, then move to git worktrees so multiple branches can stay checked out and open at the same time without ever triggering full project re-imports. Finally we install and configure git-worktree-runner so creating, opening and cleaning up worktrees becomes a single command instead of typing paths. By the end we have a clean, fast, parallel workflow that works the same whether we’re fixing a hotfix, building a long-running feature, or just trying out ideas — all with zero broken references and zero waiting.
