Getting a Project From Github to Eclipse [message #1703515]

Can someone explain how to get this github repository https://github.com/MassiveCraft/Factions onto Eclipse so I can edit the source code?

I cloned the repository, but I can't import it into eclipse, because in the import projects screen, no available projects show up.

Can someone give me a step-by-step tutorial on how to import this project into eclipse?

Thanks.

The problem is that the project doesn't have the Eclipse project files, you have to create the project yourself.
When you import project from git workspace, select "Import using new project wizard" on the first page. Then select Java Project. Uncheck "Use default location" and Browse into the Factions folder of your git repository. Finish the wizard and voila!

Copy the URL from GitHub and select in Eclipse from the menu the

File → Import → Git → Projects from Git

http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/5/5a/Egit-0.9-import-projects-select-repository.png

If the Git repo isn't cloned yet:

In> order to checkout a remote project, you will have to clone its repository first.
Open the Eclipse Import wizard (e.g. File => Import), select Git => Projects from Git and click Next.
Select "URI" and click Next.
Now you will have to enter the repository's location and connection data. Entering the URI will automatically fill some fields. Complete any other required fields and hit Next. If you use GitHub, you can copy the URI from the web page.

Select all branches you wish to clone and hit Next again.

Hit the Clone... button to open another wizard for cloning Git repositories.

Original answer (July 2011)

First, if your "Working Directory" is C:\Users, that is odd, since it would mean you have cloned the GitHub repo directly within C:\Users (i.e. you have a .git directory in C:\Users)

Usually, you would clone a GitHub repo in "any directory of your choice\theGitHubRepoName".
