URTC – Unity Real-Time Collaboration Plugin

URTC is a lightweight Unity plugin that connects the Unity Editor to the rtc-server backend. It allows you to manage projects, handle collaborators, and perform GitHub-linked operations directly from inside Unity—without switching tools or consoles.

The goal is to make project setup and basic repository management faster and more convenient for game developers.

What URTC Does

Sign in with GitHub (OAuth handled through the backend)

Create and manage projects from within Unity

Automatically create GitHub repositories through the server

Add/remove collaborators with a few clicks

Trigger backend repo actions such as push/pull

Keep user and project metadata synced with the rtc-server

Provide a clean Inspector/EditorWindow interface for all operations

URTC focuses on improving workflows, not replacing full version control.

How It Works

The plugin sends requests to the rtc-server REST API

The server authenticates via GitHub OAuth

Project actions (repo creation, collaborators, etc.) are forwarded to GitHub

Unity receives updated project/session info

All results appear directly inside the Unity Editor window

URTC acts as the Unity frontend for the collaboration backend.

Editor UI

URTC includes custom Unity Editor windows written in C#. They are built using:

EditorWindow

ScriptableObject for caching session data

UnityWebRequest for API calls

JSON utilities for parsing server responses

The layout is intentionally simple so it blends into normal Unity workflows.

Planned Additions

These are optional future features (not in current version):

Real-time collaboration through WebSockets

In-editor presence indicators

Scene diff preview

Live asset sync

Conflict resolution UI
