I'm using Source Tree for my C# Monogame project and watched few tutorials how to setup and push files.
Once I forgott to save my project but had it pushed to bitbucket. Now I don't know how to pull these files, I tried the pull button but the project doesn't refresh in Visual Studio and I'm missing some classes.
How can I pull these files?
In sourcetree after checkout the branch from the remotes folder to branches-->goto branches and select the particular branch which you want to pull the code from remote right click -->and select the option pull.

I am working with Source Control Explorer inside Visual Studio, and I am very confused with the way it works:
I have a project, where the structure is:
Folder
Branch
Folder
As in:
I just tried creating one myself (I never created one myself) and I can't ge the same structure... How can I create a branch so I match the above structure??
The only documentation I found is only related to Git in Visual Studio and not to this Azure DevOps-like.
From your screenshot, you are using the TFVC Repo and there is a plus sign in front of your folders. This means that the changes hasn't been checkin to the TFVC repo server side.
To match the above structure, you need to checkin the change first.
Then you can right click on the folder and select Branching and Merging -> Branch.
I am working on a simple project to learn github. After I worked on my project in eclipse on my local computer, I pushed my project to github for other teammates. A second member of my team pulled this project from github and pushed back to github after making some changes. Now this morning I want to pull this updated project from github to my local machine (eclipse) so I can work on this updated project.
How can I pull this updated project from github to direct into eclipse on my local computer .
I am tried to do:
"git clone http://github.com/testproject/gitDemo.git" but it is not directly going to eclipse. If I save this project on my machine and then try to import into eclipse I got error message, "can not import, there is already one project exist with same name".
I did not see pull option in eclipse under:
Right click on project - team - Pull
Any suggestions??
Thank you in advance for all your help
I'll make one point that I'm not certain you do NOT understand, but as I often see this misunderstood, I'll point it out.
You should separate the notion of "git repository" and "project". When you clone a git repository from github (or bitbucket, or some central repository), you should store it in a directory tree outside of your Eclipse workspace. You then should right-click on the repository and select "Import..." to create a project from the contents of that repository.
Related to that, you should look for the "Pull" operation on the repository entry, not the project. I recommend to display the Git Repositories view on the left side, below the Package/Project Explorer, and make sure that you attempt all git operations in that view, instead of the Package Explorer view.
The only detail from your original post that I can address is the error about already having a project with that name. That error message is not ambiguous at all. You already had a project with that name. I have no idea whether that project was a copy of the repository that you had somehow already imported, or whether it's an empty project, or what. You don't provide any information about that.
I've setup a private GitHub account to make it easier for me to work on the same project on both my desktop and my laptop when I'm not at home. The project was originally on my laptop, so I configured EGit to push and commit to my private repo. That worked successfully, and now I can see my project when I log onto GitHub. I'm now trying to pull that project onto my desktop. I did the same configurations , and in the Git Repository View within Eclipse I can see Remotes->origin-> the Push/Fetch streams. I tried to fetch, and that placed an origin/master branch under git\branches\Remote Tracking. But I can't seem to do anything with it.
I'm not sure what to do next, or if I made a mistake somewhere?
Now just right click it and Create branch.... This will make a local branch that will track this remote branch. When you push Eclipse should automatically configure everything so that origin/master will get updated.
Check out the local branch to start working.
UPDATE:
To import the project from working copy select the following:
If you have checked in your configuration files (.project, .classpath etc) you will get a list of all available projects in the repo to import to workspace. If not you will need to import them manually.
Good morning.
I just create a GitLab private repo to work in a project with some people. When I add GitLab repo to Eclipse, it says there aren't projects (and it's true). I would know how to create a project and sync with online repo so other members can see my project and codes.
I tried to start a project in git\repoName\ folder, then right-click and choose Team->Commit, but changes wouldn't save (in gitLab repo's website, it says "Repo is empty").
I tried to follow some online guides, but without success.
Sorry for bad english!
Eclipse 4.2 and newer, comes default with (E)Git installed. There is a good Eclipse git tutorial from Vogella.
Create a GitLab git repository
Log into GitLab
Create a project / git repository
Copy the https url from the project, used for cloning
Adding an GitLab git repository in Eclipse
Open the Git perspective in Eclipse
Use Clone existing Git repo, as shown in Using git repository view
Now all the git functionality from Eclipse can be used.
I assume you have a cloned repository available in Eclipse (eGit) that is empty. If not, follow the steps in the answer from Verhagen.
By now, you have a cloned repository that is marked with "[NO HEAD]", indicating that no commit has been made.
Start creating a new project by using your project type of choice; I'll use Java project for simplicity: File menu > New > Java project
in the New Java Project wizard un-tick the "Use default Workspace location" checkbox; instead, choose the directory where you cloned your empty GitLab project, and append the name of the project (this is to make Eclipse create a directory inside the repository, just in case you later want to create more projects in the same repo).
Fill in the wizard as you usually do. When you are done with the different steps, you'll have a new project, that is also marked with "[NO HEAD]"
Create some source files you want to share (e.g. HelloWorld.java)
Synchronize workspace (right click on the new project > Team > Synchronize workspace) you will see that now there are files to commit. Pay attention to those files, since some of them ( .gitignore, and maybe .classpath, .project,.settings directory... depending on how you share your projects) you'll want to add to the .gitignore.
right click on the files you want to commit, fill in the commit message and click "Commit and Push". Click Next
Since it is a new repository, you'll have to configure the Push action. I selected HEAD as source and HEAD as destination. You might want to do the same, at least for this first commit+push; later on, you might choose to add some specs for branches, etc.
The Push Confirmation will show you that the new branch master:master will be created.
Both project and repository lost the "[NO HEAD]" marking
You can check gitlab site to confirm your files are there.
I want to make a git repository for my mod i am trying to make. I created a github remote repository and now want to create a local repository to then push to github so that I can share it with some friends.
When i make the repository in eclipse using egit I right click on the project name>Team>share project. A new window pops-up i select git then mark the project which i want to git. I first tried to unmark the "Use or create repository in parent forlder of project" and made a repository (later I also tried with this option).
Now behind the project name appears [test.test NO-HEAD]. and in my git staging view i have 3 unstaged changes : .classpath .gitnore and .project
Although I have already over 100 files in my project is still only shows 3 unstaged files. How do i make egit also stage the files i already had in my project?
You simply have to make your first commit. Do Team>Commit and in the following dialog you will see all your files.
