This utility allows to create *.gitdeps.xml files for Unreal Engine 4.7+.

Building:

• Copy this repository (or link as git submodule) to Engine/Source/Programs/GitDepsPacker/.
• Build Unreal Engine.

You can generate *.gitdeps.xml files by running command like:

Engine\Binaries\DotNET\GitDepsPacker.exe Engine/Content/SomeTool Engine/Source/ThirdParty/SomeTool !**/*.pdb --base-url=http://cdn.local/gitdeps/sometool/ --ignore-proxy --remote-path=1.0 --target=Engine/Build/SomeTool.gitdeps.xml --storage=\\cdn\share\sometool\1.0 --ignore-git

This command:

• Create UEPACK-files and place them to network storage: \\cdn\share\sometool\1.0;
• Generage Engine/Build/SomeTool.gitdeps.xml file;
• Remove all packed files from old Engine/Build/*.gitdeps.xml files.

Pack files will contains:

• Files in directory Engine/Source/ThirdParty/SomeTool;
• Files in directory Engine/Content/SomeTool;
• Excluding *.pdb files in all directories;
• Unchanged files already contains in other Engine/Build/*.gitdeps.xml files will be excluded;
• Files stored in git will be excluded (--ignore-git flag).
