Porject directory stucture wierdness [message #756648]

When I share a project

I get a repository like this

Reponame/
.git/
Projectname/
files
...

Is it possible to tell git to make a layout like this

Projectname/
.git/
files
...

Thanks in advance

.. Mads

So you want to have the .git folder below the Projectname/ folder?

Yes, that's possible.

- Create your project in eclipse.
- Open the Share projects wizard, select Git
- Check the checkbox "Use or create repository in parent folder of project"
- Select the project in the table
- Click the button "Create Repository"

Per default the new repository is created in the project folder, next to the .project file.

That will place the repository in the workspace - which is not recommended, is there any way to get egit to move it to ~/git ?

Just move your project outside of workspace.

The main issue is with having the .git directory *directly* under the workspace.

Create an extra directory for the project.

<workspace>/Repo/YourProject
<workspace>/Repo/.git

I guess I have the same need as the original poster. I have a github repository and I want to check in my project. I tried a lot now but it all ended in an extra directory in my local working tree and my remote git repository.

Example:

../myrepo/myproject/src

but I want:

../myrepo/src

I have two questions:
a) Is the mentioned method - create project, share it with "Use or create repository in parent folder of project" checked still the right way to go? Is there no direct way?
b) I don't understand the steps after create and share project. Would be somebody so kind and try to explain it to me like you would explain it to a child? I am a complete git beginner.

Regards,
Bernhard
