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 you do a submodule update - here's how via the command line:

git clone https://git.kulestar.com/PowerUI/UnityProject.git
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. Navigate through to the directory you'd like to check it out to, then right click -> "GIT Clone..". Enter the repository URI at the top (https://git.kulestar.com/PowerUI/UnityProject.git). Make sure you tick that "recursive" option! Press ok, then you'll then be prompted for your user details which are those same ones mentioned above. If you get any kind of "git did not exit cleanly" message, then go into the UnityProject folder, right click, and go to TortoiseGIT -> "Submodule update..".
