I was trying to add bitbucket to my [existing] project on eclipse so I can commit it and have a GIT to work on, but I screwed up. In my GIT Repository Exploring there were 2 cloned project (the same) so I smartly deleted it to import again. The problem is, in my computer, the local folder with the project got deleted. I need to get my files back (as it was before trying to GIT it). Is there anyway I can do it? I'm desperate, since I've backed up 2 weeks ago and I have modified it a lot !
If Eclipse still has the project you can right click on the project and select Restore from Local History.... Eclipse will show you the files it has saved in its file history cache.

when I am trying to share my project with git repository getting exception like this
"Target location for project " " already exists, can not move project"
Writing an answer because I tried many options suggested in many similar questions but none worked. Then I did it manually with following steps that worked, and these steps will work for any Eclipse version:
Goto the Eclipse workspace in the file system and copy the project from there and paste it in some other location in your file system. This will serve as a backup.
Goto your Eclipse and then right click on the project and click delete. You can say delete from the file system because you've already taken a backup in step1.
Goto your Git repo in the file system and paste the project folder at the location you want (may be inside another folder with .project file doesn't matter).
Then come back to your Eclipse and then File->Import -> Import from Git -> Local repo -> Select the Git local repo where you've pasted the project in step 3 and then import it as usual.
As I said earlier, this will work for any Eclipse version.
This situation will happen if you already have a Project of the same name in your local git repository. Sharing a project means steps to commit your project into your local git repository and from there it as ORIGIN will be pushed to Master (Remote). (You are creating again with a new eclipse IDE, or that project was deleted from IDE but committed to local repository in the past).
Solution is simple:
Remove the project from your local git repository.
C:\Users\username\git on windows operating system. (If this not possible then next step)
Rename the project in your IDE (Better recreate a project with same code but with new Project name) that you want to share: repeat the process of sharing on Eclipse IDE.
You may optionally want to recreate after dropping the remote repository(master), if something is already pushed from last push of project, so that everything is clean. You may visit the git repository to confirm it.
In my case this was caused by an extraneous .project and related Eclipse files at the top of the git repository folder. The files were created by Eclipse due to incorrect folder specified on Import of the other projects in the repo.
So I need some serious help. I was looking into using EGit in eclipse. I created a test project and Team > share to a local git repository. I than committed the project to the repository. Cool I thought, but I didnt need this repository so I deleted it. Than my entire Project Explorer went empty and my Folder that contained all my workspaces is GONE. I am kind of freaking out right now, anyone know what to do?
When you select Team > share Project, EGit has to move all the files of the selected project(s) to the Git repository that you selected. EGit has to to that because you can't track files with git that aren't located inside the repository.
However, this makes your workspace look empty. The whole project seems to be gone. In fact, it isnt. In some config file is noted that the project has been moved to another location.
If you delete your repository, you also delete the files in it (it is a normal directory, remember that!). That means, if you really deleted your repository and did not just removed the link to eclipse so that it doesn't display the repo anymore.
Other than that, egit doen't touch anything else. It will only move the projects that you selected, and it will move it only to the location you told egit (the selected repository).
If you are sure that you lost projects you didn't select and/or one or more completly unrelated workspaces by doing what you have written above, than i suspect you found a bug as heavy as this one: https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/commit/a047be85247755cdbe0acce6f1dafc8beb84f2ac
Yesterday I wanted to start using Eclipse eGIT on an existing project following the instructions on http://www.vogella.com/articles/EGit/article.html
This tutorial suggests to have the git repository outside of the workspace, and I followed this suggestion.
After the step "5.5. Using the Git Staging view for the initial commit" I committed my initial commit. Then I continued editing one of my source files that was still open. But when I tried to save my changes, Eclipse complained that the source file was no longer there.
Then I checked both my workspace and git folder, and the project files were only in git. This is mentioned nowhere in the tutorial. Is this normal behavior?
Even more surprising: In order to continue working normally with my already open files, I copied the project subfolder from .git back to the workspace folder. And now everything seems to be fine. My changes are reflected in workspace folder as well as in "Unstaged Changes" in the Git Staging view and in git folder.
Is this expected behavior?
I found out that the files really get moved. I needed to close all the open project files and then open them from package explorer again (which will open the files from git repository).
I "committed" my java project -or tried to. I only just downloaded egit for eclipse and was trying to configure it. I realized my project had not been uploaded so tried to delete what i did to start again.
I thought I was just deleting the commit but it deleted the whole project locally! It's not in my trash either.
Anyone any idea how to get it back?
Basically, if you didn't push the file to the remote repo and you deleted the entire project, then you have lost your local git repo. Check your recycle bin, or try to do a hard drive recovery, if you are lucky. Otherwise...S.O.L. Sorry :-(
I just started to use SVN with Xcode and stumbled upon several problems. I have started to work with SVN repository that was deployed on a remote server. The project had a standard directory structure (trunk, branches, tags). I have checked out the project with Xcode, did some work, performed commit (from Xcode). The teammate checked out that version. Then using Xcode, I have added new images folder and images to svn repository, and successfully performed commit. I ensure you that the image folder and the images were successfully uploaded to SVN server, because I saw that folder and images in trunk both from Xcode organizer and from browser, when was viewing the project remote files.
Now, my teammate performed update from Xcode (via file -> source -> update) but the image folder and images have not been retrieved. Xcode 4 just showed a message that a "project is up to date". He also went to organizer, then selected the trunk of repository and pressed update button, but the same message about project being up to date was shown. After more several tries, he deleted his local project files and performed checkout, but now the images were successfully retrieved. What might be a cause of such problem?
I know that for all required tasks I might use svn terminal commands, just curious is it sufficient to use Xcode 4 without command line.
We've had several issues with Xcode's SVN and have had to resort to the command line a few times to resolve them. Sometimes restarting Xcode has been enough, but if not here's a few simple svn commands that might help shed light on the issue, execute these from your project's root folder:
To check what state your SVN is in:
svn status
To update to most recent:
svn update
To commit:
svn commit -m "A commit message"
