This will autofill the Host and Repository path fields. (If a repository has been added to this view, the links will be gone, replaced by the repository list and just the icons will remain.)Ĭlick on “Clone a Git repository”.
There are also icons across the top of this view, three of which perform the same functions as the links. Since no repositories have yet been added, there should be three links in this view: “Add an existing local Git repository”, “Clone a Git repository”, “Create a new local Git repository”. This should open a pane in the lower left corner of the Eclipse window, under Package Explorer. This is done via Window->Show View->Other->Git->Git Repositories. Open up the Git Repository view within Eclipse. This does what the name implies, make a copy of a repository. Obviously Git has a number of commands that support its workflow, but the simplest one to understand and the one that is most useful immediately is “clone”. Projects hosted here can be public or private. GitHub ( ) is a site where people can host their projects. Meaning, that while a client can be downloaded from the above location, there are other clients available, including the one built into Eclipse. Note that Git is a system (or protocol, depending upon how you define it), rather than a specific piece of software.
It is distributed in that it can work in a peer-to-peer fashion, rather than needing to synchronize with a central server. Git is a distributed version control system that currently is widely used.
