Hi,
I relatively new to all of this, so please let feel free to point me to a better source of information.
Here is what I'd like to do (I'm on a Mac, latest O/S, latest Eclipse, just installed egit).
I have a number of projects in the standard workspace (~/Documents/workspace/... and I have a directory set aside to hold Git repositories (~/GitRepositories). However, it seems that no matter what I do, I am forced to have my source code moved from the standard workspace to ~/GitRepositories/. As soon as all of the files are moved there, Eclipse loses track of them and I am force to re-import them into eclipse (and I'm assuming that I have to not copy the sources back into the workspace).
Since the initial tutorial doesn't mention this step, I'm a bit concerned that I'm missing something very basic.
Any help is appreciated.
Dave

This is an indication that you're importing your Git projects incorrectly: sources will never be moved in a normal import. What operations did you do specifically?
It's also worth mentioning that there isn't really a 'standard' Eclipse workspace. There's a _default_ workspace, which in osx is, as you say, ~/Documents/workspace. But this is just a default. You don't have to use it and you might well find that it's cleaner and simpler to create a new workspace for each software project you work on (a single software project could of course include multiple Eclipse projects).
