Adding a project to version control

Select the project node of the project to be added to version control

Select repository type "Git" and click "Next"

03-SelectRepositoryTypeGit.png

To configure the Git repository select the new Eclipse project HelloWorld

04-SelectProjectToConfigureGitRepository.png

Click "Create" to initialize a new Git repository for the HelloWorld project. If your project already resides in the working tree of an exisiting GIT repository the repository is chosen automatically.

Click "Finish" to close the wizard.

The decorator text "[master]" behind the project shows that this project is tracked in a repository on the master branch and the question mark decorators show that the ".classpath" and ".project" files are not yet under version control

06-NewGitRepository.png

Select "Team" -> "Add to version control" on the project node

07-AddToVersionControl.png

The plus decorators show that now the ".classpath" and ".project" files are added to version control

08-AddedToVersionControl.png

Create a file .gitignore in the project folder with the following content:

bin

This excludes the bin folder from GIT's list of untracked files. Add .gitignore to version control.

Create a new empty Git Repository

This is currently not possible with EGit. You have to create a project first and to share it afterwards. The Share Project Wizard supports creation of Git repositories (see Adding a project to version control).
