My team uses Mercurial bookmarks to denote branches of our project and not "long-term branches". However, the MercurialEclipse plugin does not show current bookmark in Navigator or Project Explorer. When I used Git and EGit plugin, I could always see what the current branch was. MercurialEclipse displays only something like "default 19 heads", which is not very helpful.
Is it possible to change the displayed information to be more precise? I have not found any related option in the configuration.

Currently using Eclipse Mars.1 and installed EGit from Eclipse MarketPlace.
Does Eclipse EGit has a similar feature of SourceTree wherein you could pick N or all commits inside a branch and compare it (git diff) to which branch is was checked-out from?
I was trying to follow low-level git branching standards relying only on Eclipse EGit tools (without terminal, SourceTree, Pull Request functionality, et.al.). But I'm only limited to seeing commit-diffs and not a branch-commit-diff view.
I think you can compare anything to anything in egit.
e.g.:
You can click on any two commits in the History view and, from context menu, choose Compare With Each Other
You can select two branches in the Git Repositories view and, from context menu, choose Synchonize with each other
You can right click on any branch in the Git Repositories view and choose Synchonize with workspace
And the list goes on ad infinitum (practically).
Is there a plugin or some setting in EGit to show the current git branch in the toolbar of eclipse so that it's visible on which branch you're working?
Like Sasikanth says there is no toolbar in EGit that shows the current branch.
Since there usually are multiple repositories within your IDE, a toolbar that shows the current branch of a single repository would probably often choose the wrong repository to display.
But if you have an idea how such a toolbar could work you may want to open an enhancement request.
In the meanwhile you can either use the Repositories View to see the current branch of each repsoitory or look at the Pakckage Explorer or Project Explorer. The projects are decorated with the repository they belong to and the current branch that is checked out.
Here the project belongs to the gitexample repository on branch master.
When I right click on a project and select commit it does not show the repository URL of where the commit is going in the commit window, which can be pain for developers. Is there a way to enable this?
Above the project I can see a path along the lines of https://repos.domain.com/repos, Trunk:trunk
Unfortunately this is not always accurate. For example when I am on a branch called MyBranchand select Team > Branch it makes the new branch within the MyBranch branch folder, instead of creating it within the branches folder. I've made this mistake a few times but by my project it will tell me:
https://repos.domain.com/repos, Branch:newBranch
when the path is https://repos.domain.com/repos/project/branches/MyBranch/NewBranch instead of https://repos.domain.com/repos/project/branches/NewBranch
Is there a way to improve on this level of accuracy?
Perhaps, Subclipse would be a better option.
Here's a screen shot of the Subclipse commit window on Eclipse 3.7. The Subversion directory is right at the top of the window.
Looks like Properties > SVN info. I didn't about this and was looking for something within the team menu. I'll leave the question open incase there is a way to view the full repository path next to the project.
I have been using Egit and Eclipse together for well over a year. I recently upgraded my computer and had to reinstall everything. Previously whenever I would make a change to a file it would immediately get picked up by Egit and show with the red highlight and star next to the file name in the project explorer.
I have everything back up and running exactly as it was, however whenever I make a change the change is not picked up by Egit. I have to perform a 'git status' in order for the files to show as ready to be staged in the file explorer. Am I doing something wrong to have Egit automatically detect changed files and has anyone else had this problem?
which version of EGit are you using
do you get the egit team menu if you right-click any resource in your git tracked project ?
if not then you need to do "Team > Share > Git", then check "Use or create repository in
parent folder of project". If you are using a very recent nightly build version this
will be checked automatically.
when you modify a file tracked by (e)git a text decorator ">" should
appear in front of the modified file
as soon as you stage the modified file (Team > Add) the decorator should show the star
also the staging view should always show the git status for all modified files
You need to "Add to index" all files again probably
Track Changes Click Team > Add on the project node. (This menu item
may read Add to Index on recent versions of Egit)
(From the EGit docs:)
What I've found is that you need to make sure that your git repositories are showing up in the Eclipse Git Repositories view.
In the repositories view, you click on the [very] little Git icon with a green + (plus) sign to Add and Existing Local Git Repository.
Browse to the directory that already has a .git subdir and click Finish. You should then see you local repo show up in that list.
Then you can right click on the repo while still in the repositories view and add pull down to Import Projects.
"Import existing projects" is selected. Click Next.
Your project should be checked off. Add it to a working set if necessary. Click Next (maybe Finish).
I had a similar issue where all my changes just disappeared. Somehow, Eclipse had unselected my Git repository. Once I selected it again, they all came back.
If you have already added your files to Stage then change the branch it will ask you to commit/stash/reset
I faced the same problem. From your git repository view: Right-click -> Show in git staging
For me I have clicked Team --> Advanced --> No Assume Unchanged, fixed the issue
I faced the same problem using eclipse version 2021.12. Whenever I made changes on file, the eclipse didn't detect it.
I solve it by using Intelij IDE.
i just faced this problem by now, and i resolved by clicking in button Refresh in Git Staging:
I have been using the built in mercurial support in NetBeans for a while now and its great. I just recently installed MercurialEclipse from http://cbes.javaforge.com/update so I can start using Mercurial for my Flex projects as well.
I can't seem to figure out how to use it.
I watched the video, when I right click files in the Package Explorer and go to tools I only have 2 or 3 options: Apply Patch, Share Project [, Show Local History]
When I click show local history, it says:
No local history for selected resource.
My project is a repository and I have made some changes since the last commit. I would like to see a diff of those changes so I can review them before committing.
Is this possible?
You need to click "Share Project" and enable Mercurial support for this project.
