I need to checkout on my Eclipse Workspace an existing project hosted on GitHub. I have the project URL, and I already installed Egit and Mylyn. But I don't know what the next step is. Could you help me?
If you already have mylyn and egit, then you may also want to install the github connector. Afterwards you can directly import a github repository just giving the name (see the second screenshot of the link).

I am trying to add repository WSIG to Eclipse but i get this error unable to load default SVN client.
link WSIG repository in github
Yes as explained above you'll need a Eclipse Plugin to clone the git repository.
Or Install latest eclipse from here and use the already installed plugin.
But as it is mentioned it a GIT repo not SVN thus SVN plugin will not work.
First of all the repository you're trying to clone (in git terms) or checkout (in SVN) is a GIT repository. That means, it uses Git as its version control system.
Thus, you cannot use SVN plugin for that, for basic understanding you can go through here.
Also on github there are ample of ways to get hands-on on Git , which I'll recommend before you actually start working using Git.
Here is the link : https://try.github.io/
Now, for your question you have to do as below for importing in eclipse :
First see , whether you have EGit plugin already installed in your eclipse if not please get this installed, as :
Once thats setup, then Goto --> Import -> Git --> Projects from Git
Then Clone URI
Then add your project link which you see on git hub as :
now paste the URL here. Since we selected http while copying from Github then choose same here as below :
Now feed your user credential and you are all set.
If you still face any difficulty within above steps, there is good documentation with images here as well : https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseGit/article.html#github
Hope this helps.
after a couple of hours trying and reading a number of tutorials, I can't fix the following problem: I have a remote server running a git repository. From eclipse (neon.2 and egit) I pushed several maven projects, each with its own pom.xml to this repository. When a friend of mine, who wants to co-develop tries to setup his environment, also using Eclipse Neon.2 and egit, we are not able to reproduce the setup in the Package Explorer. We get all the sources but in one project. The original maven projects are all nested in this one project. This wrong setup results in a couple of problems when trying to compile or run the projects.
We used File-> Import-> Git-> Projects from Git-> Clone URI. In Source Git Repository we pointed the Repository path to /home/git/workspace.git. In the Branch Selection dialog we can then only see the master. In the following Local Destination dialog we checked the Clone submodules checkbox. We played around with the following options to run wizards which were all failing, so we ended up with this one project option in the bottom of the three options in the dialog.
What is not happening, is the import projects dialog as explained here https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide/Remote#Import_Projects
(but this seems to be a former version, since the Clone submodules checkbox is missing in the dialog before on this web page)
Can anybody please tell us how to extract the maven projects as top elements in eclipse, linked to the existing git repository, such that we can work as a team?
Should you need any additional information, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.
I would advise you to always put all Eclipse configuration files to the repository when creating projects. What you should do is add all necessary maven integration related files to the repository (.project, .classpath, .settings/*m2e.core.prefs or better yet entire .settings). If you have done so, you are fine. If not, add them and pull changes on your colleague's machine.
On target machine remove the project from workspace, but do not delete contents. In Eclipse Git repositories view select your repository and expand to see Working tree. Right click it and select Import projects. This will trigger the flow you pointed our at Eclipse wiki. From there it should be straightforward - Eclipse will try to detect projects and will import them, so that they have Maven nature and are managed by EGit.
If you don't want to or cannot share maven configuration in the repository, have a look at this answer which tries to describe how to achieve that without Eclipse configuration files.
how to get svn repository work in eclipse. i installed svn but cant find the location to repository other than link to it. http://wso2.org/library/67
You'll need to install a eclipse plugin for svn.
This ibm developer works link summarizes the steps and further shows to checkout a code from a svn repo.
You should install an SVN plugin for Eclipse. I'd recommend that you use Subversive, here: http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/
There seems to be no guide out there that is still valid so I'm asking how to use Egit in Eclipse to push a project to GitHub. I followed some guides but end up with an "Specifications don't match any existing refs in source repository." error in the push dialog.
I'm using Eclipse 3.6.1 and Egit 0.9.1. It should be possible to use Egit shouldn't it? it would be great if you could give a short step by step guide to push a project with Egit successfully.
you should commit the project first onto local repository.
and then select Team->Remote->Push... to push the project onto Github.
I am new to github and souce control. i have installed the Egit plugin for eclipse
and i have created the repository on website.
Now i want to ask that do i still need to install GIT installer for windows or not
because then whats the need for Egit.
Also i don't know how can i link the Egit with online Git account
No you should need Git installed. By installing the Egit plugin you would have a new option to create a Git project from the File>New Project if I remember correctly.
Edit: Here's a nice tutorial of how to use the plugin.
