Tutorial: Using the EGit Eclipse Plugin with GitHub
I started to use GitHub a couple of months ago.
I found this Elipse plugin – EGit - and it did made my life so much easier (download projects from GitHub and upload projects – with may files – to GitHub). So I decided to write this tutorial, because I did not find any step by step Egit tutorial on the Internet
What this tutorial covers:
- Installing EGit
- Importing an existing Eclipse project from Github
- Uploading your Eclipse project to Github
- Git operations from inside Eclipse
Enjoy it and Happy coding!





Many thanks for your effort, which was very helpful.
You have a great written articles. I really like ones about integration between Ext JS and Spring Framework.
I tried to take a look at this article but unfortunately, the slide show has an error and cannot be displayed.
Great article. Have you find a way to show changes in real time at the left bar of each file in Eclipse?
Hi,
For any version of control system, you have to synchronize before commit or update a file.
It is very expensive for an app to do this in real time.
I have created another tutorial, explaining this process in the newest version of Eclipse (Indigo).
Here is the link that I forgot to put:
