README
Godot Launcher
Godot Launcher is a free, open-source desktop app for managing Godot versions and projects on Windows, macOS and Linux. It keeps Godot editor settings separate for each project and helps you set up Git and a code editor.
Godot versions and custom builds. Install stable or pre-release versions, register custom builds, and choose an editor for each project. Generate custom editor manifests in the app. Godot Launcher focuses on Godot 4.0 and later.
GitHub projects. Connect GitHub to browse and import repositories you can access, including private repositories. Publish a new project to a private GitHub repository during creation, or clone a public HTTPS Git repository without connecting an account.
Git setup. Initialise a repository with an optional initial commit and Git LFS configuration. Manage your Git identity and save a separate identity preset for new projects.
Code editors. Configure Visual Studio Code or VSCodium as your default or choose one per project, while preserving unrelated settings. See Code Editor Settings.
Per-project settings. Keep separate Godot editor preferences for each project. Import and export settings to reuse them or share them with teammates.
Project access. Switch between Cards and a compact List view, pin and reorder projects, and open a project's folder in a supported terminal. Open recent projects from the system tray where available.
Launcher updates. Check for new releases and receive update notifications. Download an update, then restart to install it.
