I have just setup a git repository in my 1and1 shared hosting. 1and1 offers git as part of the Linux business package and I decided to use it instead of installing my own git. When I do dir .git I can see the information inside the repository: -rw-r--r-- 1 foo ftpusers 23 Sep 6 19:41 HEAD drwxr-xr-x 2 foo ftpusers 6 Sep 6 19:41 branches -rw-r--r-- 1 foo ftpusers 92 Sep 6 20:42 config -rw-r--r-- 1 foo ftpusers 73 Sep 6 19:41 description drwxr-xr-x 2 foo ftpusers 4096 Sep 6 19:41 hooks -rw-r--r-- 1 foo ftpusers 1038768 Sep 6 19:41 index drwxr-xr-x 2 foo ftpusers 20 Sep 6 19:41 info drwxr-xr-x

Issue After importing an Eclipse project from a cloned git repository, I make some changes and commit - and wtf? I get a ".git" folder added to the project, the whole shebang with the heads and refs and worst of all the whole object database gets added to the project, all files/folders having that little question-mark icon signaling that the files have not been added / are not yet tracked by git. This .git folder exists in the actual Working Directory (how does that even make sense?). You can imagine what an annoyance this causes when trying to use the "Synchronize" tool/view (which is

I have the following problem with EGit 3.4.2.201412180340-r in Eclipse Luna Service Release 1a (4.4.1), using GitHub (which should be mostly irrelevant): I have a example java project set up that is configured with EGit and is connected to a GitHub Repository. I commited a few example changes to master and pushed them as well. The problem is: My repositories always have a weird kind of file layout: Repository Root > MyProjectName > src > cf > randers > myproject > main > Main.java The most projects I know on GitHub have the following layout: Repository Root > src > cf > randers > myproject >

I'm using Eclipse with EGit and and my origin/master is on github. On this project are working 3 programmers. When I pull changes to my local git (using EGit) and there are conflicts I solve them, no problem. The thing is that when I commit, it commits a merge that includes all the changed files since my last commit (before pull) and in git I see all these changes by other programmers as if done by me on this last commit of the merge... Why does this happen? What am I doing wrong? Update (14.10.2012): Thanks to @robinst I managed to correctly commit a correct merge with only the merged files.
