Introduction to Champion VC

Champion Version Controller combines Git and Git-LFS to efficiently manage code and large binary files. Here's why a reliable Large File Storage (LFS) system is essential for game engine developers:

1. Efficient Asset Management: Handles large binary files (textures, models, audio) without bloating the main repository.
2. Improved Performance: Stores large files separately, maintaining fast operations for the codebase.
3. Easy Collaboration: Enables team members to work on different versions of assets without conflicts.
4. Synced Versioning: Tracks both code and non-code assets in one system.
5. Build Consistency: Ensures correct versions of all assets are used in builds and deployments.

Application Type and Storage

Champion is a desktop application that comes with its own cloud storage solution. This integrated approach offers several benefits:

• Seamless Integration: The desktop app works in tandem with cloud storage for efficient version control.
• Organizational Sharing: Your cloud repository is shared with your entire organization, facilitating collaboration.

File Management

Champion employs a unique file management system:

1. Separate Storage: Your code and large files are saved separately, optimizing storage and retrieval.
2. Project Folder Importance: To ensure proper cloud upload, save all your files inside the designated project folder. You can locate your project folder through the app.

Authentication and Privacy

• Okta Integration: User login is managed through Okta, a trusted identity management platform.
