package-add

Install a Unity package from a Git repository by providing the repository URL, such as https://github.com/owner/repo.git. The tool updates the manifest.json and triggers dependency resolution, with optional support for specific branches or tags.

Yes, you can add dependencies to Unity from a local file path using the correct format, such as file:../MyPackage. The tool updates the project manifest to include local packages for offline or custom development.

The correct packageId format for installing from the Unity Registry uses the package name, such as com.unity.textmeshpro, or a specific version like [email protected]. The tool applies this ID to update the manifest and resolve dependencies.

Adding a package to the Unity manifest can trigger a domain reload. The tool automates the manifest update and completes dependency resolution, which typically causes Unity to refresh its environment during the package installation process.

The best way to manage Unity package installation from multiple sources is to use a tool that updates the manifest.json directly. It handles Unity Registry, Git URL, and local path installs while resolving dependencies and managing domain reloads automatically.
