Hi Eclipse People,
I'm an entry-level developer who has used Eclipse before, but never used the Team feature. I've been assigned to a work project where we use Team to version control project code. I've used command line SVN before, so I'm somewhat familiar with the basic concepts involved. But I have some fundamental questions about Eclipse and Team interact. (The documentation I've consulted online are either too brief or too expansive.)
To specify: A colleague walked me through how to clone a version of our project from my company's GitHub repository. The cloned code is running fine on my local instance of Eclipse. However, since working with the code, I look at the project in my Package Explorer (I'm using the "Java" Perspective) and now I noticed a little '>' character next to some of the resources, folders, packages, and classes. Hmmm.
Here's a crude recreation of what the project looks like in my Package Explorer:
> CompanyProjectA
(Folder) src/main/java
(Folder) > src/test/java
(Package) > com.us.basic.tests
(Class) ClassA.java
(Class) > ClassB.java
(Class) ClassC.java
(Class) ClassD.java
I don't believe that those '>' were there when I started looking at the code. A Google search suggests that the '>' indicated a file that has been modified on the master copy since I cloned. i.e., I can infer that someone modified "ClassB.java" since I cloned. Is this correct?
If so, then I want to pull down the latest code. To do that, I believe I go to the Package Explorer. I right-click on the Project name, and then go to Team --> Pull. Or is it Team --> Pull...? or Team --> Fetch from Origin?
Finally, if I modify the code and I want to create my own branch up in the repo, how would I do that? UnderTeam --> Advanced, I see Rename Branch and Delete Branch, but not Create Branch
FYI, I'm using Eclipse IDE Version: 2021-12 (4.22.0) on a Windows 10 machine. Thank you.
