  2. This is a great article! Thanks for the help.

    It would be great to have a follow-up article on how to pull source from an existing git repo as well. Yours is the best article I've seen on creating a new project and syncing with that repo, but I haven't seen anything on bringing an existing one down to work on.

    Thanks again!

  3. Fitzy, did you look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide ?

    First of all thank you very much for the positive feedback!

    In order to add the information you requested, I will have to understand your question first. The existing repository, is it a remote or a local repository? Bringing a remote repository down to work on would mean you have to clone it, if I understand you correctly. Or was the question how to add already existing local repositories to your Eclipse instance?

  9. Nice job! Even if I'm using EGit since some months, it is always useful to read "summary" tutorials like this ;-)
    Thanks.

  10. Okay, I've got EGit installed and I've created a remote repository on github (containing a README) file. I'm confident that this repository exists on github, as I can interact with it via command-line git.

    When I try to import it, though, I get as far as the Import Projects from Git window, which tells me there are no project found. Now what?

  11. The wiki.eclipse.org link helped. It turned out I need to create an empty repository at github, then push an Eclipse project from within EGit.

    (Suggestion: on this page, explain how to push a project before explaining how to clone one. As written, the instructions cannot be followed.)

  12. Hi,
    I have cloned an existing repository in eclipse/egit. However, I am not able to commit any changes, Team ==> Commit/Push to Upstream/Fetch from Upstream are all disabled. Can you please help.

  13. Note, if you are having difficulty in getting the "finish" to be available, after agreeing to the licensing agreements, make sure you start the process from the Welcome screen. Apparently the workbench must be closed to do an install.
