Godot Launcher Documentation

Godot Launcher is an independent desktop companion for Godot Engine. Use it to install Godot editors, organise projects, prepare Git, and choose a code editor for each project.

Start here

Install Godot Launcher, then choose how to bring in your work:

• Create a Godot project. Choose an editor during creation; Godot Launcher downloads it if needed.
• Add an existing local project.
• Import a project from GitHub or a public Git URL.

Common tasks

• Install a Godot editor or register a custom build.
• Change a project's Godot version.
• Manage Godot export templates.
• Organise and find projects.
• Launch Godot in a terminal.
• Update Godot Launcher.
• Troubleshoot a problem.

Settings and development tools

• Godot Launcher settings control appearance, language, storage locations, startup, and tool detection.
• Godot editor settings per project keep preferences separate and let you import or export them.
• Git setup covers repositories, Git LFS, and commit identity.
• Code editor settings control detection and defaults. See the Visual Studio Code or VSCodium guide for project setup.
