I am very new to GIT and am trying to check out some example

  • 0

I am very new to GIT and am trying to check out some example projects from the eclipse.org git repositories. I just installed the EGit plugin and have reached a roadblock when trying to enter the correct parameters at the “Import Projects from Git” menu.

The location of the examples I wish to check out are located here.

http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/dsf

However I am unsure how to create the correct URI, Host, and Repository Path from this url.

I would like to be able to explore the different repositories listed on that page (for example the org.eclipse.cdt.examples.dsf folder) and checkout those projects, however I just can’t figure out what the correct git url for this would be.

I’m coming from SVN, so I am sure I got some terminology wrong. I have been following this tutorial for using git: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Cloning_Remote_Repositories

    If you click on “Summary” in the page you mention (http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/tree/dsf), you will get a page (http://git.eclipse.org/c/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git/) which displays, at the bottom (you need to scroll down), the clone addresses:

    Clone

    git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git
ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git
http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cdt/org.eclipse.cdt.git

    You can use one of those addresses to clone from Egit: see “Cloning Remote Repositories” from the user manual.

    Egit clone
