When you link project to a repository a wizard like this appears:
There you can edit the repository label. My question is how can I change that label after I've closed that window ?
In the SVN Repositories view, open the context menu of your repository and select Location Properties....
This will open the Edit Repository Location dialog where you can change the repository label.
You have to reopen this dialog again via Location Properties.
Switch to the SVN Exploring perspective via:
Window -> Open Perspective -> SVN Exploring Perspective
and afterwards:
Rightclick on the repository -> Location properties -> Use a custom label
Location Properties...

I added a git repository to my project and then I hit Team > Disconnect. How do I remove this repository completely? I'm trying to set up a new git repository on my project, but I keep getting an error message.
In Eclipse go to Window > Show View -> Other... Then select Git > Git Repositories. A view with all your Git repositories should now be visible. Right-click on the repository you want to remove and select Delete repository.
Eclipse will now ask for a confirmation and give you the option to remove all repository data.
In Eclipse Neon you can also delete a repository by hand (via the OS). In that case the repository will simply disappear in the Eclipse Git Repositories view. This is not recommended for older Eclipse versions!
If you just want to remove the repository from the Eclipse but not want to delete the data from your computer, follow these steps :
First switch to Git perspective (Window - > Open Perspective -> Other -> Search for Git)
In the Git Repositories section, right click your repository and select Remove Repository from View. This will prompt you to confirm if you want to remove the projects that are imported in Eclipse from this repository. Click Yes and you are done.
I've renamed my remote repository and created a new local repository from it. How do I change it within EGit in Eclipse?
Previous answer list below also has issues. The only solution appears to be:
Backup .project, etc. files
Delete existing project
Import existing local git repository as a "general project"
Put backed up files into the new project
Restart Eclipse
Rename, per se, is not the actual operation -- changing repository is the correct mindset to solving the problem according to a coworker.
Select 'Team->Disconnect'
Select 'Team->Share' On 'Share Project' dialog
Select Git and click Next
Unselect 'Use or create repository in parent folder of project'
Select the new local repository
Checkbox the project name showing correct current location and target location
Click 'Finish'
Eclipse will move existing files from previous local repository to the new local repository.
I just renamed a repository. I use LiClipse, an Eclipse variant which includes EGit. I believe there is no way to do this operation with the EGit UI. Here's how I did it outside of EGit and Eclipse, without confusing them.
In the Git perspective, right-click on the repo, and select Remove repository from view... from the pop-up menu.
A dialogue box offers to delete the repository from the workspace. I interpreted this to mean, delete the repo directory and everything in it from my disk. Press the "No" button.
In the programming language-specific perspective (PyDev, in my case), right-click on the project, and select Delete... from the pop-up menu.
A confirmation dialogue box appears. In this case, I interpret it as just confirming that I want to remove the project's entry from the project list in that perspective. There is a checkbox, "Delete this project from workspace?". Leave that checkbox unchecked. Press the "Yes" button to confirm.
In the finder or command-line, find the repository directory, and change the directory name to the new name.
Return to Eclipse, and the Git perspective.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... (There is also a small icon with a "+", above the projects list, with tooltip "Add an existing local Git repository to this view". I believe it is different but equivalent.) A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in EGit.
Return to the programming language-specific perspective appropriate for that repository.
Select menu item, File... Open projects from file system.... A dialogue box appears.
Select the (renamed) repository directory. Click Next or Finish to complete the wizard. The Repository appears in the list of Git repositories in that language-specific perspective.
The project-specific Eclipse settings appear to be stashed away in a file .project within the repository, so they are not modified by the rename happening overhead.
We are working with Git and Eclipse. If I'm opening the merge tool to resolve a conflict I get this dialog:
I want to change this afer I marked Don't ask again before. But just cannot find the correct preference page.
Where can I change this after the dialog does not show up anymore?
You can change this in Eclipse Git preferences. Go to Window -> Preferences -> Team -> Git and there is dropdown for Merge Merge tool content.
I have a project set-up within Eclipse which is linked to our SVN repository using Subclipse. Is there a way to display the name of the current branch I'm in next to project. I'm sure I've seen this before but it's not there now and I can't find out how to switch this feature on anywhere. Hope you can help.
Thanks.
By default subclipse will present the current branch info (in square brackets) next to the project name inside the Package Explorer view.
This is customizable inside the Window -> Preferences window under the following location:
Team -> SVN -> Label decorations (Text tab) -> Project Format
If you somehow lost your default setting, here it is:
{dirty_flag}{name} [{url_short}]
I want to tag a release, but I don't see any option for it as below. I am using from eclipse.
Open CVS Repositories view (Window > Show View > Other > CVS Repositories). You should see your project location in this view. Navigate to you project and right clickt on it. You should then see the command Tag as Version....
You can even do it from Project Explorer or Navigator. Right click on source you would like to tag -> Team -> Tag as Version.
Once you click on Tag as Version, it will pop up another window as below. Add the tag name you wish and click OK.
You can verify tag name through Right click on resource -> Team -> Show History
