Installing Git on Eclipse

How can I install Git on Eclipse? I found tutorials on http://cho.hapgoods.com/wordpress/?p=159 but there was said that "You should then see the eight Eclipse projects 'org.spearce.something.'" I don't see those eight projects.

egit was included in Indigo (2011) and should be there in all future Eclipse versions after that.

Just go to ![(Help->Install New Software)]

Then Work with: --All Available Sites--

Then type egit underneath and wait (may take a while) ! Then click the checkbox and install.

There are two ways of installing the Git plugin in Eclipse

  1. Installing through Help -> Install New Software..., then add the location http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates/
  2. Installing through Help -> Eclipse Marketplace..., then type Egit and installing it.

Both methods may need you to restart Eclipse in the middle. For the step by step guide on installing and configuring Git plugin in Eclipse, you can also refer to Install and configure git plugin in Eclipse
