PowerUI's source is available via GIT to everybody with a PowerUI license along with a web based Gitlab UI for easy access. It's highly recommended you set up access as it's easy to do and will keep you right up to date with all the latest changes. Known bugs and feature requests are handled there too.

Gaining access

• Create an account on My PowerUI.
• Drop in your invoice number from the Unity Asset Store. You can get hold of the invoice number directly from your Unity Asset downloads window, or from the purchase email.
• You'll then see a box at the top which can grant you access. Click on the button (and expect a small barrage of emails!)
• You can now login to and checkout any of the PowerUI repositories.

Checking it out

The UnityProject repository contains all of the individual components as git submodules, so you'll want to check that one out. Make sure it's set to recursive and you do a submodule update - here's how via the command line:

git clone https://git.kulestar.com/PowerUI/UnityProject.git --recursive
git submodule foreach --recursive git checkout master
git submodule foreach git pull

The wall of errors

If you see a giant wall of errors, don't panic! That means it hasn't cloned all of the contents of the submodules. Depending on the client you're using, you'll need to go into the directory, and perform a GIT submodule update. Some clients will do that as part of a pull/ update. That should get those submodules for you.

Windows Users

If you're on windows, a common tool to use is TortoiseGIT. Here's a quick guide on using that:

• Navigate through to the directory you'd like to check it out to
• Right click -> "GIT Clone..".
• Enter the repository URI at the top (https://git.kulestar.com/PowerUI/UnityProject.git).
• Tick recursive
• Press ok, then you'll then be prompted for your user details which are those same ones as used by the My PowerUI site.
• Press ok and then let it clone. You might get a "git did not exit cleanly" message - this is fine!
• Go into the repositories directory. Right click and go to TortoiseGIT -> "Submodule update..".

Alternately, If you are okay with command line you can grab https://git-scm.com/download/win and use the command line instructions above on windows.
