I've started Eclipse EGit. In some scenarios it is really not comprehensive. I have local file e.g. pom.xml changed. On git server this file was changed. I do pull , EGIt says: Checkout conflict with files: i.e. pulling stops ( fetch is done, but not merge ), that is OK. However the next is bad experience. I synchronize workspace, put my changes aside and make it the same as FETCH_HEAD. But EGit doesn't want to continue. I replace the file with HEAD revision. But EGit still doesn't want to continue. What standard expected user operation should be with EGit after conflict resolution? UPDATE: I

I am in the process of moving to Git from SVN. In SVN I had multiple eclipse projects in a single SVN repository that is convenient for browsing projects. I was going to move to having one git repository per eclipse project but EGit suggests doing otherwise. The guide for EGit suggests putting multiple projects into a single Git repository. Looking at similar questions such as this suggest one project per repository. Which approach is best practice and what do people implement? It depends on how closely-related these projects are. Ask yourself the following questions: Will they always need to

I've never used Git before and would like to learn. I have a private repository with GitHub. I've installed the EGit plugin for Eclipse. I have a workspace where I do my work, generally: ~/Documents/workspace . I am able to add my GitHub repository and download it, but in doing so it creates ~/MyRepository . When I create a project, do I need to point it to ~/MyRepository ? Also, how come when I make an edit and I say push to upstream it says up to date? Mohamed Mansour Make sure your refs for pushing are correct. This tutorial is pretty great, right from the documentation: http://wiki.eclipse

I am new to Git and I am using EGit eclipse plugin to commit. I modified few files and I stashed the changes, then I did git pull in command line which pulled up all the latest commits. Then I did Apply stashed changes from EGit. Now it applied my changes and the changes which pulled from last commit of stashed files went out. I am not sure why it didn't ask me about merge conflicts and overwrote my changes and lost previous commits changes. How to get those changes? When you have changes on your working copy, from command line do: git stash This will stash your changes and clear your status

As I understand GIT, when I checkout on commit, I should get its files copy in my work directory, but no new commit should appear. Though when I use EGit and checkout on commit I see new commit in reflog. Why? As I understand checkout should not create new commit. Right? Here I right click on commit and choose checkout Then I get new commit in reflog: So now I have few commits in my local master, but I never asked to do them.

I'm new to MyLyn and I really want to use the change sets automatic management function. So what I did is I shared a project via git, then create a new task, activate it, made some changes, open synchronize view and synchronize. Now I should be able to see my change sets, right? But the dropdown button that suppose allow me to choose the Change Sets mode only shows "All Model", "Workspace", "Java Workspace", "Git commits". There is no "Change Sets" option. BTW, I did toggle Change Sets in Synchronization Preference/Models. So what did I miss here? Thx. First, try using Team->Synchronize

I have been using EGit to upload my stuff to github for a few months now. But off late I do not see what files have been changed, and I dont know why. Please help. As you can see I have updated some files and I cannot see a list of files in the files section. As the comment 2 at the Eclipse bug 446534 mentioned, calling table.pack() will solve this problem for a single tableviewer. This looks like a problem with Mac OS X 10.10 and SWT, see Eclipse bug 446534 for details. Note that the heading above the table says "Files (1/1)", so EGit calculated the changed files correctly, but it isn't

I tried my best to get a multi-module Maven project synced with GitHub using EGit, but I've failed. The structure of the project is like this: parent (pom) child-one (jar) child-two (jar) I tried this simple approach: Completely blank copy of Eclipse JDT and an empty workspace Create a new GitHub repository and initialize it with a README.md file Clone that repository to Eclipse Create the parent (pom) project Create two children (jar) projects, add simple main classes, everything works at this point Now comes the tricky part. Do I share just my parent project? Or children as well? Well, it

I am using egit and this is what I see. Don't really understand how this works From master, switch to a new branch. Make changes to existing files, modify files. Switch to master, all changes are seen on master. (No prompt, that need to commit changes before switching) This is not a problem with egit, but the default behavior for how git works in general. If you make some changes, and do not add/commit them into git, then they are applied to any branch you checkout next. Only when the changes can not be automatically applied on checkout will you receive an error asking you to either stash your
