I know it is a simple question but please I need a one word answer yes or no.

And also,
Do we require to clone project for us to commit files to remote git.

Your question is unclear. Is Git required for what ?

If you meant for using EGit, then the answer is no. EGit relies on JGit which is installed as a dependency of EGit.

Git is a distributed versioning system which means for most commands you first need to clone the repository
and then run the command on the local repository. The commands acting on a remove repository are clone, fetch,
push and ls-remote.
