Using the Bluemix dashboard, the file list in the 'edit code' screen is a different list than my git repo. The 'edit code' file list is the starter project. I pushed a new set of source code from my local, and it's listed correctly in the Bluemix git repo. However, when I open the 'edit code' window, the file list is still the starter project. How do I update the 'edit code' window to show the updated file list?
Currently, the "Add Git" button will only clone in the files from the Boilerplate you created your app from. This is why you are not seeing the code updates you have made to your app in the created git project.
This question has previously been asked and answered here. Please refer to that answer for workarounds until this functionality is remedied for a better user experience.
I recommend you read chapter 4.3.1 of this Microservices Redbook
There are several options for how to control your source code and deploy to Bluemix. It describes how to use CLI, BluemixDevOps Services, Git and GitHub.
The EDIT CODE (Web IDE) workspace is not the same as your project's git repo. Instead, you should think of it like a local sandbox. When you first open the project, it performs a git clone to populate the project's files. From here on, if you want to update the workspace with the latest files from the project's master repo, you must do so from the Git Repository
on the left, just like you would if you had cloned the project locally.

I'm trying to push my xamarin forms project to github .
I've tried the regular method following the github instruction & using command line but xamarin forms project usually are big in size so that it won't be pushed throw the CMD and it recommends the Git LFS instead.
however, I found that we can push the project to github
https://devlinduldulao.pro/how-to-use-git-and-github-in-xamarin-development/
using the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio and I have installed it but the second step is to add the solution to source control.
but I cannot find the latter option in my menu
so can anyone help me with this problem, all I need to do is to push my project to github if there any other option than the one I have provided in the article above please mention it.
thanks in advance.
If its trying to push a lot, then you are missing a .gitignore file. Put this in the root folder of your solution.
Here is a github list of useful gitignore files.
A good one to use for this purpose is VisualStudio.gitignore.
At minimum, have these lines in your .gitignore file:
[Bb]in/
[Oo]bj/
.vs/
bin and obj are the main folders containing results of building. These are re-creatable from source files, so should not be in repo.
.vs is where visual studio keeps all its user-specific files (such as .suo).
This question seems to be more a git problem than a Xamarin problem. Xamarin.Forms projects aren't bigger than other projects - but you have to ensure you excluded all the build output from the beginning (using a .gitignore-file for .NET projects) - otherwise you commit binaries and your nuget-feed.
Seeing this menu structure, it seems, you already are working with git (at least with a local repo without remote). So you should check your git repo settings and add github as remote: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/version-control/git-settings?view=vs-2022
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 can't see the GIT commands when using right click on any files in a GIT repository.
I'm using Eclipse-Luna, A fresh install, afeter trying different versions of EGIT.
Thanks,

Some screen shots of the preferences:

You must first share that local project in order to make it recognized as a Git repository.
See "How make Eclipse/EGit recognize existing repository information after update?",but don't forget, once shared, to close/reopen your project.
Then Git will be active on said project.
We are trying to set up Eclipse so that two users can share the same project directory on our server. Is this possible? Every time we try, it creates a new folder and project.
Thanks!

No, this isn't possible. Eclipse only supports a single user accessing a workspace (not just a project) at a time.
Use a source control system such as Git or SVN to share code. Eclipse supports many such systems and has extensive sharing support in the 'Team' menus.
The best way to do this would be to use source control.
Sharing the actual workspace or the files with different eclipse instance is a recipe for trouble.
An easy way to do this would be to install git on your machine and also on his machine. Eclipse actually already has git in it ready to go so you probably dont need to install anything.
The one with the files locally will create a repo locally on his computer and commit the files to it.
Next you want to init a new empty repository on a shared folder and push your local chances to this as you would to github for example.
Your partner can then git clone from this repository to his machine and work locally.
Each of you will develop on your own copy and commit your changes locally. You will share your changes by pushing your commits in that central repo and pulling from it to get changes from your partner.
You could also just open an account on GitHub, GitLab or BitBucket (there are many others too) and use that instead of a shared folder. big advantage with these services is that they will be available from anywhere.
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.
