So at home I use one computer to work on a project and at work I use another one. So far I have copied the project folder of the set project to the machine I am going to work on, but now the folder is growing to a size its taking several minutes to copy. Am I missing some feature where this could be done easier or is this the only way to work on different machines?
And if so what is the meaning of the ‘Back up’ folder that is under Projectname->Saved->BACKUP. Is this something that I can ignore copying, or for that matter any other folder, so the file wont be so big to copy between machines?
The only folders you need to copy/version control for a project are:
Config
Content
Source [1]
Do you have any kind of shared storage available between the two machines? If so you could create a git or mercurial repository [2] on it, which you could then clone and push/pull from as you work on each machine. This would let you pass around only the delta changes, rather than copy everything each time.
[1] Source won’t be available for a content only (blueprint based) game.
[2] Or any other version control system of your choice

What do u mean of that word above ?
Sorry english isn’t my native language.
I need copy, if it doesn’t matter to me for copy file every single time
what all i need just copy 3 folder from project A ?
And where should i “paste” that?
really need your help .
I mean that projects that only use Blueprints won’t have a Source folder, as that’s only added for C++ code.
If you don’t really care how long it takes to make a copy then you could just copy your entire project folder somewhere else, however the minimal set of folders/files you would need to copy to have a working project are:
Config
Content
Source
YourProject.uproject
These can go into any folder, however I’d recommend putting them in their own new folder just to keep things neat.
I’m having issues with this too. I’m trying to use GitHub, but it is not working. I thought I knew how to do online repos, but I’m not sure. Trying to learn how to move projects between my desktop and my laptop.
