How to include A* in project

Installation
#1

I downloaded the free version and loaded it into my project no problem. But I’m using git to track my project and would prefer to keep this out of the repo as now the commit would add 69k lines to my repo, not ideal.

I have not been able to see a way to add this as a dependency that Unity will download when you load the project as opposed to loading it in through the file system.
I know the pro version is on the asset store, why isn’t the free version there as well? Is there a github repo I can link with? Or some other method I am unaware of.
Thank you.

Hi

That is not possible at the moment. However it looks like Unity’s package manager will soon get the necessary features to be able to do this. Then you will just be able to add it to your package.json file.

Damn. Is there some guidelines you can give me for what is really necessary to include? I’ve got a top down 2D game and I’m using my own movement system. Currently I’m only using the astar and seeker script.
