Unity UI link missing after GitHub pull

[JanetCheng0311]

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a group project in Unity 2022.3.

When my teammate pulls the repo, the UI images show up as grey boxes and prefabs show "Missing Prefab" errors with GUID mismatches. The files are in the folder, but Unity isn't connecting them.

We checked the .meta files and tried git lfs pull, but things are still broken. The project only works correctly when I send the whole project files through drive, it seems like something is getting lost specifically when using GitHub.

How do we fix these broken links so the project syncs correctly?

Make sure .meta files are committed
Unity generates a .meta file for every asset, and those must be in the repository.
Check your .gitignore. It should not ignore .meta files.(should both exist in the repo.)
Enable “Visible Meta Files” in Unity
Avoid re-importing or recreating assets
If someone deletes .meta files or reimports assets locally, Unity generates new GUIDs, which breaks references inside prefabs and scenes.
Check Git LFS configuration
