Covers configuring Unity's built-in Smart Merge (UnityYAMLMerge) with Git for automatic scene and prefab conflict resolution, setting up .gitattributes for Unity file types, and using P4Merge as a fallback for complex conflicts. Also explains Git worktrees for maintaining multiple branches simultaneously in separate working directories, and introduces the open-source Git Worktree Runner tool (by CodeRabbit AI) that simplifies worktree management with shorter commands and organized folder structures. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
