Godot 4 C# Git Template

This template can be used to create a C#-ready repository for Godot projects.

Features:

Configured for 3D by default (but contains preferred 2D pixel-art settings as comments)
Contains Launch Settings to run game/editor from Visual Studio IDE (tip: use symlinks to manage versions)
Contains a GitHub Workflow to export game to a WIP release whenever wip branch is updated (tip: recreate branch to trigger export)
Contains a setup script that can be run with Git Bash to download external addons and git repos (see extras)
Contains VS editor & filenesting config with corresponding csproj inclusions
Contains GD export presets with default project settings
Contains basic Assets/Game/addons folder structure
Contains shortcut to user data folder
Configured for .NET8

Set name & description in project.godot, build and run in Visual Studio:

Updates README.md with new name (line 1) and description (line 2)
- (Template text auto trimmed if renaming from F00F)
Updates Github Workflow to use current Godot version
Updates export presets with new name
Renames sln & csproj with new name

NB: After running, you will need to exit Visual Studio (without saving) to open renamed sln

Also functions as a plugin to track changes made in editor (enabled by default)

(currently .appdata shortcut must be updated manually)

For Visual Studio, a minimal install of the '.NET Desktop Development' workload is all that's required (as it now includes .NET8)
To open Godot Editor from within Visual Studio, right-click project.godot in Solution Explorer (Solution Items) to set the default OpenWith option to symlinked path
