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.

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.
Need small help related to the environment setup in a Git repository. Actually I created a Bitbucket account and I am trying to connect Eclipse and Git. But unfortunately I am not able to find Git in Windows. Could you please help me out on this?
I am using the Neon version of the Eclipse SDK.
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).

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/
I am playing with my eclipse cvs functionality (on my windows box), is there a way to check out a project hosted on github?
Anyone shows me a pointer? Thanks,
Not with the CVS client. You need to install git for Windows or a git plugin for Eclipse.
CVS and git are two different source code version control systems. Other popular choices are Subversion or Mercurial. You have to use different clients or Eclipse plugins for each of them.
Use EGit, which provides Git support as part of Eclipse and is available in both the latest Helios builds as well as the upcoming Indigo release.
