“Invalid project description”, importing from GIT repo problem

Question

After copying my GIT repo from a PC computer onto my MAC, i can\'t seem to import it to an eclipse. Import happens via eGit plugin directly from existing local

Answer 1

I just had this error; in order to solve it I removed the project from my workspace directory. I threw it on my desktop. Then when importing the project, check the box that says copy into workspace.

Eclipse checks in your workspace to see if the directory exists already, if it does, it gives the error.
