Unity Version Control (UVCS) is a scalable, engine-agnostic version control management tool built for 3D project development. With both centralized and distributed workflows and superior speed handling large files and binaries, artists and programmers alike can work the way they need to.

 This will populate a repository name synced with your project name. 

 This populates based on the Unity Version Control Organization your account is associated with. UVCS selects the closest available server, based on your IP address. 

 ​​The choice to select the server location is only available when the UVCS organization is created. If the UVCS organization has already been created, the choice to select server location is unavailable.

This step creates a repository, which is used to store the local copies of your project files. This allows you to check in (commit) changes to the repository.
