I am brand new to Git and EGit. I have been asked to troubleshoot a project stored in a Git repo located at http://com.myorg.gitrepo/githome/myapp.git.
First I tried just doing this on the Git command-line. From a terminal, I executed:
git clone http://com.myorg.gitrepo/githome/myapp.git myapp
The command was successful and I can now see a project checked out under /home/myuser/myapp (I'm on Ubuntu 14.04).
Now I'm trying to load the checked out project into Eclipse as a Java project. Here are the steps I'm taking:
1. Right-click Package Explorer>> Import >> Git >> Projects from Git >> Next
2. Existing local repository >> Next
3. Select `myapp` project to import >> Next
4. No project found!?!?
As you can see, EGit is looking for some config that isn't there, or perhaps I'm just using it incorrectly.
My questions:- What am I doing wrong, and what can I do to fix this and get the project imported?
- How could I improve this process in the future, by using EGit to do the initial clone (bypassing the need to use the raw Git command line)?
