I created a repository on GitHub. I set up a local git repository using Eclipse and Egit.
With Team > Remote > Push. I managed to push the local repo to the one on GitHub.
Now I expected to be able to use the Team > Push to Upstream (as well as fetch from upstream) as a one-click push (and pull/fetch), but this menu choice is not available (grayed out). I have to use Team > Remote > Push to each time manually fill in the info (ctrl+space helps).
Following this, I created a remote configuration and pushed from the repositories view, and I can see the remote GitHub repository listed under Remotes but still the Team > Push to Upstream command is grayed out in the menu.
Could someone please give me a hint as to what I have may done wrong?
Here's what I did and this worked fine:
Right click your project, choose Team→Show in Repositories View. You will switch perspectives and be in the Git Repositories tab.
Right-click "Remotes" and choose "Create Remote". For "Remote name", enter "origin". Click OK.
Click Change. Enter your information as you did during your initial push. Click Save.
You should now be able to push by merely right-clicking on your project, then Team→Push to Upstream.
Because the remote was added under the project in question, each project can have its own upstream origin and they will not interfere (whereas the Window > Preferences solution is a global setting).
Based on your description of what you did, it appears you attempted this - but possibly did not use the name "origin" for the remote, which is absolutely necessary. I stumbled across this solution by pure chance.
I had this problem and thankfully found a way to re-enable the "Push to Upstream" option.
Go to Window > Preferences > Team > Git > Configuration.
Select the Repository Settings tab and then the repository that represents your project.
Click "New Entry..."
The key is remote.origin.url
The value is the url you copy from github. It's usually offered predominantly on whichever site you register with.
Perhaps there is a neater way of achieving the same thing. Once I reached this far I stopped looking because it works now.
You need to have the following type of configuration in that repository's .git/config file:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
The remote setting can be any of your remotes or just a value of .
You can edit the repository's config by selecting the Properties menu item from the context menu for the repository in the Git Repositories view.
I came here searching for solution to solve similar problem with bitbucket - although none of the two highest votes answer didn't work for me, it proved that I had option "Put branch...", when I tried to do this, it says "Non fast-forward", but when I successfully made "pull", I was able to push to upstream.
Maybe it will help someone :)
This post might be a little old, but I had the same issue with one of my repos the following information from this link worked for me: Adding a remote to an existing git repo
The part i want to highlight from that article is the following:
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
When I made the change in the .git/config and refreshed eclipse the "push to upstream" link worked for me. Keep in mind, I am assuming that you have a remote configured in your Git perspective for your remote repository.
In my case all git commit/push operations are inactive. I fixed the issue by placing the repository folder under git directory.

I sometimes realize a local commit with Eclipse and then decide to push my project but Eclipse offers me only two solutions "Commit and Push" or "Commit".
The problem is I cannot make a "commit and push" if I haven't changed anything after my "Commit".
Fair enough, I only have to change a line on my code and can push it but it seems to me like an awkward solution. Is there a better way to do so?
You can always just open Eclipse's built-in terminal (or any other terminal app) and execute: git push.
On a side note: getting used to using git on the command line enables you to easily switch between different IDEs and editors without having to re-learn the respective quirks of the git integration of the IDE de jour every time you switch.
In the Package Explorer, Project Explorer, etc. right-click the project folder and choose Team > Push to Upstream.
Alternatively, you can use Quick Access (Ctrl+3) and enter push to upstream (assuming a file of a Git repository is selected or opened).
For a Git main menu and Git icons in the main toolbar, in Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective..., in the tab Action Set Availability check the checkbox Git.
I have an existing Eclipse git project, with a master and development branch present in both local, and remote tracking. I have just added a new branch in my git repository, but I can't figure out how to get it to show up in Eclipse.
I have tried to read up on the subject, but it seems like it is just expected to automatically show up. I have found a lot of similar questions, but they all seem to deal with the issues of a completely empty remote tracking folder, instead of my problem of only a single new branch missing. I already have Master and Develop present.
Here is what does not work:
Clicking refresh in the Git repositories window.
Any kind of synchronize, pull or other update I can find
Here is what would work:
Right clicking the remote tracking folder, and selecting "Paste repository path or URI". If I do that, and select the exact same path as is already there, I can see my new branch. This action does require that I completely clone the whole repository to an empty folder again, and that can't be how this is intended to work.
I believe it might work to use some kind of command line tool, but I really want an Eclipse solution to this, as I feel sure it exists, and I am just missing something.
In the Git Repositories view:
Right-click the repository and choose Fetch from Upstream
If the new branch will not shown up below Branches/Remote Tracking, you have to configure fetch:
Right-click the fetch node below Remotes/origin and choose Configure Fetch...
In the Configure Fetch make sure there is only the single Ref mapping (assuming the remote is named origin) +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*:
In case you do not see Fetch from Upstream after right-click the repository, you may look for Fetch from origin.
For me the solution was almost what Joshua suggested, however it did not work as described. For me the solution was to configure the [remote "origin"] property as follows:
[remote "origin"]
url = your_git_url.git
fetch = refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
Alternatively, you can do it from the Eclipse UI too:
Fetch from origin... then hit Configure... and in the configuration window hit Advanced... and there you have the option to Add predefined specification where you can selec Add All Branches Spec. This will result in the same configuration as above:
Maybe you have to remove your original entry which will be pointed out as a duplicate by Eclipse.
You need to modify the "config" file in your local git repository folder. For example, you cloned a remote branch Project into c:\git\MyProject local folder. In this folder there is a hidden folder ".git" that has a "config" file. There is a section in this file resembling the below
[remote "origin"]
url http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
fetch = +refs/heads/Project:refs/remotes/origin/Project
You need to modify this section as below
[remote "origin"]
url http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
fetch = +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/
Then go back to Eclipse IDE, right click on the repository and do a "fetch from origin". Now all the branches will show up.
What I did:
1: disconnected.
2. refresh and pull. Then, it shows the new branch
3. create local and pull.
I am new to Eclipse as well as Git world. Following question may sound like really dumb thing to ask, but I have spent hours finding how to do it and found no way.
We have a Git remote repository that I have cloned using Eclipse's Git perspective. My team makes some changes to code and pushes them to remote repository. I am stuck with "getting latest" code in my local workspace.
Here is what I tried:
Open Java EE perspective. Right click on my project -> Team -> Synchronize Workspace. This opens "Team Synchronizing" perspective. It shows me that there are some "incoming" files, but there is no option to "get" them. Only options I see are Merge, Overwrite, Commit. Well, none of them make sense to me.
In TFS world, I just select "get latest" and new versions replace old versions in local workspace. What am I missing?
The Synchronize View will only allow you to inspect the differences between the resources in the local workspace and a local or remote tracking branch.
It won't get the last commits.
For that, you need to pull new changes from the upstream branch
Right-click on a project in the Package Explorer and select Team > Pull or right-click on a repository in the Git Repositories view and select Pull to pull new changes from the upstream branch your local branch is tracking.
This also works if resources are selected from more than one repository.
See for instance "EGit Auto-Merge and Conflict Resolution "
To understand more about that workflow, look at GIT Illustrated Cheatsheet -- Working with remote repositories
I am in need of help in trying to setup Eclipse so that I can push my code onto my GitHub account. I've searched online and the tutorials I have found are either outdated or don't work for me.
I already have a project on Eclipse. How would I put that code onto GitHub? Would someone please add detailed instructions please. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT
As soon as I posted this question, and fiddling around with the settings I managed to get it to work! What a coincidence...
The only problem I have now is how do I set it up so that when I commit it will only select the files in the project folder? Right now it is showing all 600 files in the Package Explorer.
Alright, there are several ways of doing this. I found this to be the easiest way:
First, set up SSH2 configurations. Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2->Key Management and Generate RSA Key. Save Key
Copy that key. You will need to go to your GitHub account settings and add the new SSH key to your account.
Now, you need to install eGit:
Next, you want to add the Git Repositories view:
Create a new Git Repository. I have already created a repository called Java. I will refer to that repo for the rest of the explanation.
After you create your repository, it should show up in the Git Repositories view. Now to add your project to the repository, right click on your project and select Team->Share Project.
Select the repository you just created. You can also use CTRL+ to select multiple projects and place them in one repository.
Now go back to your Git Repositories view. Go to Remotes . Right click and select Create Remote.
Select Change... and enter the SSH link for your Repository on GitHub.
For connection, select SSH. Then press Finish.
For Rev-mapping, select Advanced....
For Source Ref select refs/heads/master. And then press Add Spec, then select Save specifications in 'origin' configuration. Then press finish.
That's pretty much it. You can commit changes by right clicking your project - >Team->Commit...`
Push new commits to GitHub:
This is a really good explanation on how to set up Eclipse pull requests.
The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key branch.master.merge found in configuration
I have a project hosted in googlecode with Git.
I'm using STS (SpringSource Tool Suite) with eGit.
I cloned the repository at home and I could commit & push the changes successfully.
I did the same thing at work and when I try to push the changes after commiting them, it shows the following error:
https://myuser#code.google.com/p/myproject/: Invalid username/password.
You may need to use your generated googlecode.com password; see https://code.google.com/hosting/settings
I entered the googlecode generated password when I first cloned the repository (as I did at home, and this error never showed up). I try entering it again and nothing changes.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks!!
Do as following:
Open Git repositories view, open "Remotes > origin > " and click "Change Credentials..."

Enjoy!
I resolved it by going to Preferences > General > Security > Secure Storage > Contens tab and deleting default secure storage for repository.
