Hi, First of all I know very little about source control. Me and my friend are working on a project with our systems in the same room. We want to use source control so that we don’t have to use USBs all the time. Does source control in UE4 upload through internet? Can it be done over LAN since only two of us are working on it and no need to access the project files from anywhere else. Ans also can you point me in the direction to learn how to use source control? Thank you.
